Guys I have a foolproof plan to reach 10%

- Stop using GNOME as default DE
- Throw cash money at Wayland devs and hire an assassin to harass slap Nvidia's CEO

What's the problem with GNOME?
Stop using GNOME as default DE
No need to go as far. Just jail everyone working on Adwaita.
They always acted like the are the only ones in town, but while checking the spelling just now, the first result says "Adwaita (from अद्वैत, meaning "one and only" in Sanskrit)" The serious UX designers were a joke to them from the start.

I tried a few games on Linux and I spent more time looking for why one game wasn't saving my game and why another game wouldn't actually launch with no error messages then actually playing a game.
How long ago was this? I am basically not having any issues at all!
Thats the game, once I got the game working, I'll just leave it and never open it again.
The only games thus far that I couldn't get to work were pirated. Id say 80%+ pirated work, and so far all legit games. Even weird launchers like FF14 (stock, not the 3rd party) and Guild Wars 2. And then of course Steam does most the work.
Everyone's mileage varies, obvs, plus there's different distros and games.
I've just recently gotten into this and installed steam through ubuntu's store. Could be why it thought subnautica was on Linux and let me download it. I uninstalled and installed through apt-get this time, hopefully that fixes that issue.
Hmmm? You can run Subnautica on Linux through Steam, as you can run most games written for Windows.

Anyone tried FreeBSD? Linux is starting to lose that hipster allure.
I have used Freebsd for sometime on my desktop back in 2021. For the most part I had a good experience except that I couldn't figure out how to connect earphones/mic on the ports on my PC case. I had to plug it directly to my motherboard for Freebsd to detect them. I used an Nvidia card at that time and it also worked very nicely although it had much older drivers than Linux.
I ended up switching back to linux because of 2 reasons -
-
I have a few BTRFS drives that I use regularly and couldn't afford to buy some new ones for Freebsd at that time.
-
I couldn't play games using steam proton. I don't know the situation these days, but I'll surely check it out If it has improved since then.
You should give Freebsd a try, you might like it.
It's what my router runs.
the real l33t h4x0rz use TempleOS

the year of the Linux desktop is now
Year of the Steam Deck. Linux still not ready for mainstream desktop usage :(

And all it cost was having a store sell DRM software.
To be fair, as far as DRM is concerned Steam is pretty mild and game developers gotta eat.

It's still coming, I have tried to switch using my desktop but still have. Needed to swap back to windows for stability.
For stability? A missing feature or software you need I get, but stability? Which distro/DE are you using?
Damn. Stability to me was one of the biggest reasons to use Linux - it does exactly what I expect it to do, never breaks, updates never break shit.

Imma shiz myself when Linux reaches 10%.

XD Maybe ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I think it means he'll shit out all the jizz in his ass
Well what else is one supposed to do with it?
Portion it out into tiny jars and sell it like e-girl bathwater, duh.
