Despite Microsoft’s push to get customers onto Windows 11, growth in the market share of the software giant’s latest operating system has stalled, while Windows 10 has made modest gains, according to fresh figures from Statcounter.
This is not the news Microsoft wanted to hear. After half a year of growth, the line for Windows 11 global desktop market share has taken a slight downturn, according to the website usage monitor, going from 35.6 percent in October to 34.9 percent in November. Windows 10, on the other hand, managed to grow its share of that market by just under a percentage point to 61.8 percent.
The dip in usage comes just as Microsoft has been forcing full-screen ads onto the machines of customers running Windows 10 to encourage them to upgrade. The stats also revealed a small drop in the market share of its Edge browser, despite relentlessly plugging the application in the operating system.
Do it… I switched about a year and a half ago, and I can’t ever imagine going back. And gaming is amazing on it. I’ve been using Bazzite for several months now and it has been awesome.
Aw. Bazzite can’t do Nvidia GPUs. I’m still rocking an RTX 2070 and likely will be for a good while.
Bazzite has a standard build specifically for Nvidia GPUs. It supports back to GTX cards so your RTX 2070 will work. Source: I’m typing to you from my PC running Bazzite with a 3060 TI. The only thing this version doesn’t support is the Steam gaming mode desktop environment. Steam the application still runs fine and all the games I play work. You can run KDE or Gnome desktop environments. It’s time!
Yeah I just learned that this morning. The Bazzite website still has a piece of text on the site that explicitly says it doesn’t support Nvidia stuff, but it looks like that’s an artifact that just needs to be removed.
Perhaps I shall look into it.
Do it! Do it! Easy to dual boot and test it out. They have a great discord for any questions that come up.
Bummer… Aren’t the open source Nvidia drivers half-decent these days? I purposely went with AMD knowing I would be doing Linux gaming on it.
No idea, I was just looking into Bazzite specifically.
