Fascinating news. On the statcounter site I also read that India's Linux use stats for July, 2023 were at 14.15%. Incredible!

Considering that not many people use BSD or the others, I would guess that most of the "unknowns" are actually Linux users. That means we're probably already at over 6%. :-)

Great news, and a big thanks to the hard working developers! I want to try out the Lua scripting at some point.

Besides the original Morrowind, I've also read that both of the major mods, Morrowind Rebirth and Arktwend (which has a special OpenMW port available on NexusMods), can be played using OpenMW.

Hobbyist programmer. When I switched to Linux, I started using the Atom editor for typing out my JavaScript projects (mostly Electron apps). Now I use Pulsar, because Atom development was cancelled.

I also find nvm to be helpful for installing and using Node in the terminal.

Windows XP was the last Windows that I wanted to use. When it became totally obsolete, I upgraded to Linux Mint. I will never go back to Windows. I did not even start off using Windows. MS-DOS was my first operating system.

I'm a middle-aged truck driver. I've been using Linux Mint (Cinnamon) now for about seven years as my only operating system (without dual booting) since Windows XP Pro became totally obsolete. Granted, I'm a hobbyist programmer and lifelong computer enthusiast. However, there are definitely some easy to install and use distros out there these days.

I've been using Linux Mint (Cinnamon) as my only operating system since 2016. No dual booting.

Linux Mint Cinnamon. I've been using it for about seven years now. It offers a very good, traditional desktop experience.

This is another good reason to stop using reddit. The internet used to have millions of active message boards for discussion of numerous topics. Reddit has essentially become one giant message board to rule them all. The world does not need this. Best to help decentralize the internet by promoting alternatives.
