Linux has over 6% of the desktop market? Yes, you read that right - here's how

Jump

  • And even though I have seen that the average price of machines with Linux preinstalled may be close to some machines with Windows, I would guess that most people are going to go with the latter. Easier access to purchase one, familiarity etc.

    • Realizing Arch isn't for me after updating broke VLC

    Jump

  • I recently switched to Void after making runs with Arch and Fedora.

    I'm not anti-systemd. I just like Void. Rolling release model. Light weight. Minimalistic. I've read how the package manager is small but for me everything I need is there. That's the first time that's happened for me as with other distros I would have had to install via flatpak, snap by source, appimage and by the package manager.

    Not sure if that would work for your use case or not.

    • Okay why is your distro the best?

  • Void. Minimal, all the programs I need are in the repos, which is a first for me. Very fast.

    • I have used Windows all my life, and I have some questions.

  • I'm only responding to the lack of computer skills portion of the OP as I'm sure others have already answered points plenty and probably better than I could.

    If you've used Windows, you have enough basic computer skills to get you started. You'll learn the Linux by using Linux just like you learned Windows by using Windows. There are plenty of mainstream distros that give you an out of the box working experience that is a great starting ground. It does take research and try things out instead of wanting someone to give you the perfect play book.
