      I say "de facto" because the reality is that the ratio of Windows PCs sold to Linux PCs has to be stacked very much in favor of Windows. If it's 1000 to 1, I would be surprised. It has to be higher.

      everything that's not Windows or OS X is Linux, and it's 4% of Desktop market share worldwide: http://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide … Linux only 2% in Europe: http://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/europe … I don't see this myth 1000:1 and the untold story is how many people buy Windows machine to substitute it ASAP

      If it's 4 percent Linux, it's also overwhelmingly users installing it themselves, not preinstalls. If it weren't for Windows 10, that would also be me, but I'm taking a break from the maintenance and the tweaking for a bit (it's just been a year).

      You are talking stereotypes 😒 Laptops with preinstalled Linux are growing Various companies buy Linux friendly hardware and install it right away. They have special contracts Professionals have no issues but also in my family many run Linux without any issue/tweak needed

      To summarize, and I've no intention to continue this discussion (specially here) • 1000 to 1 ratio for Windows vs Linux: FUD • need a year break from maintenance and tweaks: FUD (or wrong HW) • if 10 Ruby used Linux I'd buy it: Lie This is not a conversation. Best Regards.

      It is my fondest wish that desktop Linux become extremely popular. There are things I like in the Linux desktop (and especially console) and in Windows 10. I just want to see both as first-class development platforms. Worse than all is the assumption that "real" devs use Macs.

      you really are a Journalist ... I've never stated "real" devs use Macs, I've stated why companies gave me Macs for the job I do. I target all browsers, as well as iOS and Android, and that's my job and I support everything I can, but not for development because I won't pay MS.

      again, this is what I think about Windows. If I have to pay a license to test it on my daily/working OS their platform, I won't do that: as easy as it sounds. It's not too hard to get. If *you* pay me a license to support dev of my software then fine!https://twitter.com/WebReflection/status/973951368665944065 …

      TL;DR if Windows was free, and it was providing real system hooks through WSL, it would be objectively the best all purposes OS. My skepticism today: * it has a license cost but its software cost in its own store too * it advertises its own products to already paying customers

      I use those daily. I'm the only one writing polyfills that support down to IE8 so please stop telling me I don't support Microsoft. If I have to use those images to support *development* it's a whole new world of mess. If I had free Windows instead I would support development too

      Nobody tells you you aren't supporting MS. we're replying to sentiments from you that imply you don't think it's important. Since you support Windows users so well, you agree!

          I've never said it's not important, but realistically what matters is support them as target, more than as contributors to my projects. The reason is simple: Microsoft is not making it easy for me to support development on OS. It makes easy to support its users though. 🤷‍♂️
