We see the nearly 33-year-old OS’s market share growing 31.3 percent from June 2023, when we last reported on Linux market share, to February. Since June, Linux usage has mostly increased gradually. Overall, there's been a big leap in usage compared to five years ago. In February 2019, Linux was reportedly on 1.58 percent of desktops globally.

Let me show you how with this PowerPoint! The new Windows11 PowerPoint, while shared in teams is both readable....the ant reading needs DLP fast eyes to shake its head at 130FPS so that the 4 available pixels can be translated into full 4K for the ant. That's when the magic happens that some people are not aware, because if you got an ant farm, it will sometimes arrange the top sand into the current 4k frame. Yes, there's a little loss of you use builder's sand vs playground sand. Also there's only one color...sand. and it freezes a lot!... but do you know how hard it is to translate 4k pixel by pixel? The good news is that if everyone is sharing their cameras you get an absolute awesome view of their faces!... everyone squinting trying to see if that little squiggly thing is the updated bracket you're working on or if it's an ant.
