      People still use ChromeOS? I just slap Linux on my chromebooks. Cheap new hardware.

          Budgie installed fine and had no driver issues at all on the HP Chromebook 11 G5.

        I actually really like Chrome OS myself. For the people around me who are less tech literate, Chrome OS is actually great. It’s quite easy to support. It’s fast, and it’s got a really good ecosystem now thanks to all the integrations.

      I have seen stats that both Linux and ChromeOS have around 3.5% market share.

      If ChromeOS continues to converge with proper desktop Linux, I consider it a distro which makes 10%+ possible this year.

      The wild card for me is Linux gaming. It may not grow fast but it totally could.

      Which had me wondering for the first time I hearing about “The Year of the Linux Desktop”, what percentage do we have to hit for this to be the year?

      I don’t really expect us to hit it but, for the first time, I feel like it is possible.

        Imo it’s more of a list of things that need to happen, like some mainstream games, apps and devices getting 1st-party Linux support. I suspect this to start happening around the 20% mark, but ofc that’s just a guess.
