@thomasfuchs @kestral That's true in some markets. Most people have a laptop around just to do the jobs they can't do with their phone. I recently asked some kids in my village in Greece if they wanted me to teach them to use a computer, and they said no. They don't really care. However, a substantial amount of people will still have computers, and Linux might just be the ticket for them to avoid buying a new PC.

Eugenia L (eugenialoli@mastodon.social)'s status on Wednesday, 05-Jun-2024 01:15:25 JST Eugenia L @thomasfuchs @kestral Linux is currently around 4%. From the people who are going to continue having a desktop (because we all agree that most will move to mobile devices), I expect these people to be more interested in tech, and as such, going for Linux more so than the 1% you suggest. My take is 10% by the end of the decade.
