    That’s how business works. What company is going to dedicate a bunch of resources to make 1% of their market happy?

      Personally, I hope the market share grows sufficiently that commercial enterprises start to develop for it. With the direction windows is going we need alternatives more than ever.

        I 100% agree, but it’s a catch 22. No one develops for Linux because it doesn’t have a market share, and it doesn’t have a market share because no one develops for it.

          Exactly! But I really, really hope that the growing share in India and other places starts to catalyze commercial development.

          Immutable packages like flatpak (or whatever is your format of choice) makes the software side way, way easier. It’ll take a bit more convincing to get HW makers to dive in though.

          It’s no joke making supported software let alone HW for multiple flavours sites of kernel, architecture.

          It’s a lot better than 25 years ago when I used as a daily driver, but we’re just not quite there yet. I keep trying!

        I’ll give you the 3.8 as total userbase, but I’m willing to bet that it’s only about 1% that are exclusive to Linux and don’t use a Windows machine at all.
