Statcounter reports that Windows 11 continues to lose its market share for the second month in a row. Windows 10, meanwhile, is gaining more users and is now back above the 70% mark.

Hmm... I wonder why Linux has yet to rise.

I mean, we only have like 17 months until support for Windows 10 ends, it's not like it's that long.

I've been thinking on switching to linux on my laptop but I keep reading on the worse battery life on linux.

You should try booting to a live USB stick. Then you can check how the performance compares on your hardware, without any permanent changes.

Eh, my lappy has terrible battery life regardless of what OS is running on it, and even then, I always use it plugged it anyway, exactly like Strong Bad (it's why I used the word "Lappy")
