[chrisb]

How many times are you going to Post these stupid facebook Likes and Google Trends is even more a Joke i can post some stupid shit too
ohh look what do we have here damn

Linux 13.6 %
Ubuntu 1.7 %
Suse 0.2 %
Red Hat 0.4 %
Fedora 0.3 %
Debian 0.1 %
Centos 0.3 %
Google Android 0.5 %
GNU Linux (Unknown or unspecified distribution) 9.7 %

But but FaceBook has the most Likes....

Facebook and Google usage is commonly used as a proxy indicator metric for estimating actual interest in something. Is that true for your data source (whatever it is)?

I like what i see for the first 100 votes, ubuntu+xubuntu are just 30% of all votes. That clearly means something - majority does not care about *buntus .

As of first 200 votes, ubuntu+xubuntu again is on 30% level and once again is approved that majority does not care about ubuntu benchmarks .

First 400 now telling me that situation is very nearly the same 30% is ~30% +-1 or 2%, so majority are simply not ubunteros .

Using live usb images would have a number of advantages for testing, not the least of which is not having to risk screwing up a working system. With SUSE studio it wouldn't be much harder, and may even be easier, than installing and uninstalling a bunch of different packages.

It's actually not a bad idea, building a bootable ISO that can be used to run the tests, and then people will forever be able to easily boot it up and reproduce those results. It could do the automatic results upload and everything. The only issues is that small manual changes would be more difficult, and the ISOs might be rather large. Also I wonder how many people would bother to download them and actually run the tests?

if you're big like Apple you don't call it pirating you call it patent infringement (a nice way of saying it) it's the Same thing

When people say piracy they usually mean "copyright infringement" not "patent infringement". They aren't the same thing.

It seems you have missed something - most of the Linux community is running Ubuntu. It's not perfect and it doesn't have systemd and won't use wayland, but it's far better than testbed like Fedora.

Interesting claim. Source?

If they think DuckDuckGo is all about privacy, lol...might want to reconsider that. There is NO privacy on the internet anymore.
