Thank You SO MUCH for testing this! You are the ONLY site to provide *BSD testing! We appreciate the work Michael!
Kinda a surprise that FreeBSD didn't work, OpenBSD working was expected since 7.2 claimed Raptor Lake support in the release notes, NetBSD still recommends Kaby Lake or older Intel laptops so that is a no surprise it didn't work on Raptor Lake and I really don't know enough about DragonFly to say one way or the other if it was expected to work.

I don't understand why people invest their time in Linux, when they could use Windows... or DOS?
Why did Linus even bother to start working when Minix just needed some extra hands?
Why do we need those newfangled calculators, what was wrong with log tables and slide rules?
Or abaci?
You even realise the point. They are free to do so.

I mean, they are free to do so, but that manpower could go into something useful, like improving the Linux graphics stack...Last edited by Nozo; 01 December 2022, 10:05 PM.

Pretty much no one runs BSDs on the their desktop other than people playing with their PCs in their spare time or developers.
Damn, did you really need to add this crap, "incorrect assumption"? I have a strong desire to BL you forever right away because I hate when people talk like that. You're not an authority, you're a fucking no one for all I know and even if you were an expert, real experts don't allow themselves to to talk like that.

The trust in survey respondents is a point I keep trying to make and frighteningly few people seem willing to listen, let alone grasp the issue. It's not just who responds (and whether they are self selecting) but how the survey is framed. You can get pretty much any response you want if you're skilled in forming the questions. An old BBC sitcom, "Yes, Prime Minister" demonstrates this in a short scene about National Service.

Curious to know the latest market share percentage for Linux desktop? You don't have to do the research, we've done it for you.

It can be safety assumed Linux desktop market share is over 3%. If xbox is taken into account let's take Android as well and then Windows market share becomes joke.
You also have to trust your reporting source has not fudged their numbers for advertising purposes such as clickbaity numbers and headlines. In the end you really have to just go with your own research in the target audience by asking the boots on the ground what they're using and if they're satisfied with their current products, if you're looking to create a product yourself.
But in any case, only a fool thinks "Windows is nothing, but a toy used by fanboys." Businesses, especially corporations, would blow you off as the kid with no practical experience you appear to be.
