Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Don't panic, thats just me running it on PC, laptop, worklaptop, pinenote, pinephone, steamdeck and in multiple VMs for experimentation. (and don't forget my randomized fingerprinting setup in the browser)

Was gonna ask if this stat included the Steam Deck, as that's also accounting for the vast majority of Linux gaming numbers. Whether it does include the Deck or not, it's a nice rise, but all the better if it doesn't include the Deck. I wonder if the popularity of using Linux on the Raspberry Pi is helping too.

How many people are reading blogs on their steam decks though? I don't think it's having much of an effect for statcounter

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

You never know, given the Deck has desktop mode. That said, still is a good thing with or without the Deck bolstering the numbers.

How is the PineNote coming along?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

I love the idea of the Pinenote, but could never afford one.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

This was my question too

[–] Deckweiss 3 points 8 months ago

Not great tbh. But I made it work for my usecase somewhat.

As a huge tinkerer I like it over the Remarkable2 which I had before and which was a huge pain to customize.

But I wouldn't recommend it to normal people.

How are you randomising your fingerprint? I'm very interested

Edit: ah, in your browser

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

It rubs the lotion on it's skin.

Hoe is the pinenote? I have been debating on buying one

Hardware is pretty solid, software is extremely lacking.

Only buy one if you want to develop for it.

[–] EpicGamer 2 points 8 months ago

Thanks, I hoped the software would have been a bit more developed by now. I don't have the time to mess about with it sadly

What do you use for randomized fingerprinting?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Me, who could do everything I have set up with one RPi: FIVE? Guess imma get a third Pi

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

tell me more about your browser setup.

how do you randomize the fingerprint?
