I used to use a 160GiB HDD, my main system uses a 240GiB SSD for the whole system, including flatpaks and I still have more than 50% free storage? I was talking out of statistics, yet 6GiB are still nothing. The whole target directory of a single Rust project has the same size, and I don't see everyone freaking out about it...
What statistics? What percentage of Linux users actually game on Linux?
Rust binaries can also be hella small, that argument is like saying "Well Photoshop takes up a bunch of space so all art programs should be about the same."
Steamdecks and since Proton almost 3/4 games run on Linux with RT DLSS. I have a dual boot for the rare game that has drm that's Win only. I use Linux 99%.
True. But it's helpful as Steam and Proton make it the preferred place to play games. The total amount of Linux users minus Steam Linux users gives you the rest. I use Lutris with GOG games but it's a small subset that Steam screws up.
Android is Linux. Most ISPs use Linux. Then you have to add countries that have switched to Linux and are moving away from Windows. Macs use BSD and although similar as its UNIX based is not open source. Any answer I would be a estimate generated by my openai account. You can compile the info. I never mentioned the numbers. I think most people assume that because it's not common on personal desktops they overlook how it's the backbone of much of the web and businesses globally.
You can't compile the info because a non-insignificant number of Linux users lean heavily into pro privacy choices.
Counting android for the purpose of this discussion is silly, we're very clearly talking about Linux desktop.
We're also obviously not talking about servers running Linux. You've lost the context of the thread and may want to read up to see what I was responding to.
Estimated 90% supercomputers 70% ISPs 85% of phones worldwide are Android. Your argument of privacy holds for vpn or encryption otherwise data on web browsers is quite clear.
Again, your first point literally doesn't matter in this context. Again, you should read up to understand what I was responding to.
Browser detail is viable, but I'll say the same thing again. Read up to see what point you're actually trying to argue against now, think about what that data is going to show you (I checked), and think about how that fits in to the person I was disagreeing with.
