GNU/Linux is Definitely Growing, Microsoft is Still Trying to Sabotage It
It's currently attacking Linux developers again, notably Theodore Ts'o
THE USAGE levels of GNU/Linux are growing. SJVN has published "Valve Steam Deck as a stepping stone to the Linux desktop" because technically those devices are GNU/Linux with KDE. Looking at some statCounter figures for September, or even Steam Survey, there are more people using GNU/Linux than ever before and MakeUseOf's GNU/Linux coverage is back under "How-To Geek" (same authors, different site).
Here in this site we've seen a significant growth in traffic - to the point where this week the new site serves about 600,000 requests per day. We can only assume or simply guess that it means more people are pursuing information about "Linux".
Given what Microsoft is doing right now, we ought to get ready for or expect many more people (and businesses, governments etc.) to move to GNU/Linux while Microsoft vandalises migrations via 'secure' boot. There really ought to be legal action over this, but lawsuits aren't cheap. See the new article "Brace for glitches and GRUB grumbles as Ubuntu 24.04.1 lands" (by Liam Proven). We have the Trojan horse from Microsofters to thank for it. █
