no, the statistics are based on browser agents, very few steam deck users browse the Internet on their devices. it's also only half the Linux devices on steam, not of all Linux desktops

I use Firefox since all distros package it.

i don't have a strong opinion on systemd, i just heard someone call it soystemd in some YouTube video once and it just stuck in my head for years

dont forget soystemd and wayland

most desktop users

its a different os in the survey, real arch linux is really this popular.

honestly, linux native games often run worse than windows binaries through proton and dxvk. game developers really only need to get the anti cheat working, if there is any and fix potential issues.

i can't believe that Phineas and Ferb would do something like that

yeah but it looks fancy

if you know your way around a Linux system, it's really quite easy.

there is no benefit to old lts kernels on the desktop, kernel releases are always extremely stable

the rest also isn't just an opinion, cinnamon does not have an equivalent to kdenlive, krita, or kate. even the existing applications are just not on the same level. it's an acceptable desktop, but plasma and gnome are just better.

Wayland has objectively better multi monitor support in every case. You were encountering tearing issues before switching, maybe you just didn't notice.

why should you have to? it's a really bad choice by the distro maintainers.

mesa is outdated by default, not supporting rx 7000 cards unless you use the edge iso.

plasma has wayland support, tons of customizability, better multi monitor support, a great suite of applications including a text editor with lsp support and much more, and in general looks nicer. cinnamon is sort of the bare minimum

outdated mesa, monitor scaling, cinnamon in general being outdated

most common artificial sweeteners are completely fine

probably not a good idea, you'd have to upgrade quite soon. take a look at centos or rocky Linux instead, they're both down stream from fedora
