I’m not being aggressive, but your statement just makes no sense?

Either people pick the default and it’s mostly edge/safari, which as per your own statcounter source is clearly not the case. Or people are not as dumb as you make them out to be and pick the one that suits them.

The prompt was “I had chances to peek into some of my friends’ laptop and was surprised how many of them are using Edge”. Not “I did a survey of the entire world and Edge dominated”

How is this even relevant? If you make a statement about people in general, it doesn’t matter which people specifically are mentioned.

But thanks for the humoring!

So how do you explain the chrome dominance? Did I miss something and the dominant os is chrome os this last decade ?

What’s the point, don’t ads pay per impression? Are there actually more than 5 people still using stackoverflow? I can’t see how this would make them any money.

I never really worked much with rpm-ostree, besides a short stint with Bazzite. But never really customized it, so I don’t really know how that experience is. But I would encourage you to look into NixOS (or something else not image based) whenever you feel to experiment with another immutable. It’s very nice for servers.

You don’t have to reboot to adjust configuration or update. At least not with NixOS, don’t know much about other immutables.

Why not an immutable OS for servers? It seems like an even better choice for servers than for a desktop to me. It’s basically just like docker/containers but for your whole OS, configuration-wise.

I love my declarative NixOS servers/systems, and would never go back to imperative setups, it just seems archaic. The only exception I have (for now) is my pfSense router, as I don’t trust myself enough to setup a secure router.

Well yes, that data source is called stockholders. They eed to ride the hype. Honestly they really don’t have much choice. Either make the users happy or the stockholders. They can’t do both, it’s impossible at this stage. Want to guess which side wins?
