bought Ṁ10 NO

Maybe next year. If I can find a good Excel replacement, I’m gone.

bought Ṁ300 YES

Do you know what the "unkown" operating system stands for?
And how are dual/triple/... boot systems handeled? Do they contribute to both Operating System Stats?

eu relaxing OSS regs + countrywide adoption (switzerland) of OSS standards would potentially imply 2025 at earliest project timelines for meaningful changes to long standing systems. may not see appreciable “population of linux machines” increase by mkt share until budgeting cycles happen.

can we get a 2025 poll also?

It's India driving adoption

got a link?

It's in the description, site breaks down by country

thanks didnt see it 👍

bought Ṁ25 YES

I wonder if the crowdstrike debacle has positively influenced Linux adoption

bought Ṁ50 YES

Up to 4.45% . If there is a big ramp in December like last year this is looking on target

sold Ṁ163 NO

no change in opinion, I just don't want the mana locked up for this long!

we can dream

opened a Ṁ500 NO at 25% order

@DonutThrow Bet against me at 25%? I have set up a limit order (cancelled)

bought Ṁ20 YES

@SavioMak It grew over 1% last year, number is volatile, I don't see why it shouldn't touch 5% during at least one month

bought Ṁ50 NO

@DonutThrow i don’t understand how you’re getting 1%. it went from 2.91 to 3.8smth

@ashly_webb It depends on start date. Low (2.7) and high (3.83)

@DonutThrow I mean, not too much thought into this, but it hasn't broke 5% in so many years. I didn't bet a big % of my portfolio anyways.
