We see the nearly 33-year-old OS’s market share growing 31.3 percent from June 2023, when we last reported on Linux market share, to February. Since June, Linux usage has mostly increased gradually. Overall, there’s been a big leap in usage compared to five years ago. In February 2019, Linux was reportedly on 1.58 percent of desktops globally.

    I’m using AI in a very controlled manner, I don’t want somebody else to decide for me where it’s applied.

    Also, Windows 11 doesn’t have support for ultrawide monitors, and I happen to have one.

      What do you mean it doesn’t support ultrawide monitors? I had an ultrawide for almost a decade and every version of Windows supported it flawlessly.

        The new task bar can’t be moved to a short edge, so it obstructs a significant part of the screen.

        Windows 11 can be displayed on a ultra wide monitor, but it’s not designed to work on that aspect ratio.

          So you technically can move the task bar to the edge in Windows 11, but it requires a registry change. Ludicrous, but if you’re a home user you can do it.

          If you’re stuck on an IT-managed install for work like I am, however, you’re out of luck

            I’ve tested that, the taskbar completely breaks when you do that. Visually it’s at the edge, but everything else assumes that it’s below. For example, opening the start menu opens it at the bottom.

              Oh so even if you do the registry workaround it’s worthless? Lol amazing, good to know.

          Hm so you mean the task bar isn’t flexible then? Not quite what I understood by not working with ultrawides but I guess I can see where you’re coming from.

            The only thing you can change is whether it’s centered or left justified, it’s not flexible at all.

            The problem is that it takes up a significant amount of screen space for nothing.
