I can only vouch for the Mint – Cinnamon – Sarah version as it is the only one I’ve tried and have no reason to look elsewhere.

There may be versions of Linux that I'd find every bit as disappointing as Win 10, but I’m not going looking for them. :)

Unfortunately this is 99% of arguments against Windows 10 on this forum ;)

Really, can you show us your workings for such an assumption? :D

1443608 2017-12-28 07:00:00 Linux is such a good OS (for general consumers) that even thought its free, and has been around for about 30 years it has a market share of about 2%.

Can you see a mom and dad going into Hardley Normal and asking for a Linux Laptop for their daughter?

I disproved your argument earlier, or can you not read?

Maybe you would be good enough to link us to where you obtained this figure of 2% and how it was arrived at Digby?

I found this interesting as it seems if you break Windows down into versions you get a whole different picture. Unfortunately Win 10 isn’t on the board yet.

And you must remember the argument isn't about all of Windows, it is specific to Win 10 ;)

By your own admission BM that graph cannot be correct as there are a million versions of Linux as there are several versions of Windows.

I'm not fussed either way I use Windows10 as it just works for me I also use Linux Mint as that also just works but is harder to figure stuff out with

I don't have an issue with the layout especially, a bit too much crapware, but that was removed.

The issue I have is the forced installation of crud, the enormous size of the forced installs and the ever increasing taking control.

And funny how when the likes of lenovo bundle keyloggers there is a fuss all over, and when MS does it people rush to defend them.
keylogger is a keylogger, no matter who or why it's done.

That 3.3% figure is accurate as a total of all (or most) Linux versions for desktop.

Poor old Winblows, not anywhere near as relevant in the real world.
