there are other humans in other countries that are looking for a better life

the problem is that countries with declining birth rates dont see them as humans

@thingsiplay exactly! that was my point to writing this article: that it should soon be relevant enough :)

np! i dont see this as confrontational at all! on the other hand im glad to be getting constructive criticism (which i cant really say for the other comments)

and all valid points u are making. most important thing is we will have to wait and see, but im very excited to see linux’s growth :)

@AmbitiousProcess the usa gov graph shows a daily stat. if u have any other websites that show linux stats lmk

there are also reasonings listed in the dropdown at the top of the article

@DiarrheaSommelier hm? what’s wrong with the article?

the comments are a little funny to read

when a vendor doesn’t support their hw on windows, the vendor is blamed

when a vendor doesn’t support their hw on linux, linux is blamed

@Pfeffy im from mastodon 😅

click the :fedi: icon on the original post

that’s the power of shared protocols like activitypub! people cross talking from different platforms is possible 🙂

unfortunately seems like my replies arent propagating properly (edit: nvm)

a little funny to see someone say the same exact thing as me, but conclude the opposite thing

that 1% gain translates to a lot of people. app devs will hopefully target linux now as there are finally a sizable amt of people on the platform. its breaking the chicken and egg cycle

no need to worry about the software fragmentation. it gives OEMs a choice on how they would like to sell a system. we dont want to be like android now do we. i see it as a plus

yup it is very active. u can follow the account here: @postmarketOS

as for why the devices seem old: it takes a lot of work trying to get the old android kernel working with the mainline kernel. its much harder than lineageos as we dont reuse the old android kernel and a lot of work needs to be done on both the kernel and userspace

basically one person is doing an entire engineering departments work

if ud like the newest phone, u can get a fairphone 5

@Grass @juergen https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices look at community devices and see which u like

there is one in testing which is almost complete: fairphone 5

we might try to make that a main device with a couple of other orgs
