These people keep bringing up “mArKeT sHaRE”
- Linux is free. How would it get market share?
- It’s quite difficult to get an accurate “market share” since user-agents can be faked.
EDIT: I wonder if Microsoft are making anti-Linux accounts to try and hamper Linux.
Dude, the subreddit is named r/pcmasterrace. Even if they aren’t anti-Linux, maybe you shouldn’t take them too serious
Might seem a little far-fetched, but i’m going to go out on a limb here and say that the community that basically worships conspicuous consumption of electronics with complete disregard for e-waste and electrical consumption in support of being a better gamer, a consumer identity fabricated by marketing companies, and have thus turned it into an implicit contest might not be interested in practicality, liberty, nor freely available goods unless they’re the most visually appealing

Lol. No, they’re not. Really.
What kind of conspiracy theory is that, Microsoft really doesn’t feel threatened by Linux.
Well duh. “PC” means “Windows”, obviously.
sigh
“PC” means “Desktop” /s
Actually, if we’re nit-picking, it means “Personal Computer”, but the colloquial meaning has shifted somewhat since the good old IBM times to first mean desktop computers (as opposed to laptops), and then to mean non-Apple computers (including laptops), which for most people means “a computer that runs Windows.”
Which is the basis of my heavy sigh.
Reddit is getting worse and worse. Not sure what happened, but it started losing it’s way around 2014-2015.
All I ever got for trying to help on that sub was called an elitist and have people go through my comment history to prove them selves and its the linux community thats toxic
