Khe's saying 'android is linux'
AAhh gotcha
AAndroid doesn't run Linux apps, that eliminated it for me as a contender
BAndroid is literally a mainstream linux distro
Bit does run linux applications in a variety of ways
Keh you can proot in termux
KI did that back when I used samsung dex
AIf it's not supported by the OS vendor, I don't count it
Kto use xfce+x11+linux apps
Bhave you heard of the true scotsman?
KSamsung did support that for a bit, but backtracked on it
ANo everyday user is going to proot termux
K(Linux on Dex)
Bno TRUE scotsman would be unaware they were using Linux while using it on their phone
AYep, I know about it. Shame Google pressured Samsung into killing it
Bgoogle's gonna bring their own desktop view
KEh
ABut basically I don't count Android since it doesn't support Linux apps ootb
Bimplemented as part of Play Services like Android Auto is
Kits crap rn
KI tried it (you can enable it in developer settings)
ADex is better
KDex/ReadyFor/whatever that thing Honour uses are all more mature
Byes, like I said, running the Linux kernel to execute ELF binaries doesn't make it a true enough scotsman
KLenovo also has 'Productivity Mode'
Kfor some phones/tablets
Alet new user try also you could create custom image easily too
BI think pretty much every live image is immutable
BI mean, traditionally they have a read-only root
Bit should be easier to make a ublue live
BI think almost all cuda users are on linux these days, right? All the ones training models at least
BLLM software targets Linux first and windows sometimes never
Bthere are several markets where Linux dominates. Like model production, microelectronics/factory dev, web hosting, etc
Bgaming is a weird island far from those areas and it's really excellent that it's catching on there
Aarent like 99% server run on mostly linux lol
Byep!
KNot for 3D rendering necessarily no. CUDA+Iray is often used on Windows for that
Bpixar's whole pipeline is linux
KSure you can do it all in Linux, but that basically means all blender all the time.
Bif valve were just boosting linux as hard as they can, they'd promote godot
Bgodot vs unity/unreal is a big OS battlefront
KIs it even a battle? Pretty sure zero AAA studios are using godot. Might be wrong, but I'd be shocked.
Bzero AAA titles use godot.
Bit's a battle because more indies are in the last few years
Bif big games started getting made with godot, that would have a trickle-down effect for native linux support for the titles
KEhh... native Linux support is kind of dead
Kcause Proton is too good
Kso why bother? Just do windows and make sure proton (well, steam deck) works.
K(from the perspective of devs that is at least)
VI don't think it is, games are still getting Native Linux ports.
