  • Some people include laptops in “desktop” since it’s the same paradigm of the interface, especially if you hook up an external mouse and have a regular screen and keyboard. Laptops are still widely used. Some people use the term workstation. If 90% of people used linux on laptops for browsing, writing, programming, editing media, spread sheets, etc, I’d say that was the year of Linux on the Desktop, even if they don’t have a Compaq with a CRT screen sitting on their desk.


  • Imagine protesters and counter-protesters reading each others signs and then going “Wait, these claims and slogans reveal a fundamental disagreement! We should sit down and find common ground for this discussion and figure out how to resolve this apparent difference in values and opinions so that we can find what is true and good.”


  • Do you mean as opposed to using phones/tablets, or do you mean like having a tower computer and peripherals? People still use laptops and stationary computers for work, like office work and computer related hobbies and anything like it. For doomscrolling and simple games, phones are more popular though.


  • Thank you, it is for me too. I’ve been running linux and bsd for 15 years, and now I’ve realized that my phone and the services I use have been a blind spot. I have two phones that are supported to install but only through adb. What does os version S,T,U mean in the list?
