As some of you know, I have moved over to Linux. I have tried different distributions, but using Ubuntu at this time. I have found one issue. When I click links in other apps and they open in Vivaldi, there is a notification that the page is ready, instead of just taking me to the page. Seems to be a generic issue and I have looked and found that there are extensions to get rid of this, but IMHO this should rather be a setting and I would have thought that most users would like for things just to be opened. Any reason why it is done this way? It adds a lot of extra steps that should not be needed. #Linux #Gnome

Statcounter claims that 45% of Windows users are still on Windows 10, 49% on Windows 11 and the rest on older versions of Windows. Microsoft still says they will end support for Windows 10 next month. If you are still on Windows 10, what are you going to do? #Microsoft #Windows #Linux

I have finally moved over to Linux as my primary platform. In many ways it is like coming home, as I loved working on UNIX machines in the past. Of course, I have been using Linux as a secondary OS for a long time, but I finally made the switch. Microsoft cancelling Windows 10 and the direction Windows 11 is going was just too much for me. @npub1zc46...ywf4 helped the transition, by making it easy for me to work with multiple concurrent @npub19rt0...adh9 installs. That is a must for me as I test a lot of builds at the same time. #Windows #Linux #computing #Technology #AI #Vivaldi

Vivaldi browser capo doubles down on generative AI ban

Results of my little survey. Why is Linux growing? 19% believe it is because of sunsetting of OS versions. Microsoft is forcing Windows 11 on people and a lot of people are not happy with that and some are just not able to run it. So with a choice of replacing the HW or the OS, plenty of people choose the OS. 20% believe it is because people are just discovering how good Linux truly is. 41% believe it is a combination. 21% think it is something else, with some mentioning SteamOS as a reason. Whatever the reason, more and more people are seeing Linux as a great choice, which is only good news to me. #Windows #Macos #Linux #Computer #Technology #Vivaldi

It is nice to see Linux growing. The question is why? Microsoft does not make it easy to switch. Is this a result of Microsoft and Apple aggressively sunsetting OS versions and Linux being the way to keep HW working? Or is this just more people realizing that Linux is great? Some other reason?

Linux has over 6% of the desktop market? Yes, you read that right - here's how

It's not a typo. Linux's desktop share is growing, according to the US government's records.

I was on a new podcast called WTF Now. My episode is called How the internet went wrong. Sad title, but you will understand when you listen. This is really back to my strong belief that we need regulation when it comes to user profiling. IMHO it should just be banned. Have a listen and let me know what you think! #Vivaldi #Browser #AI #SurveillanceCapitalism #Meta #Politics #internet #Web
