Microsoft Is Worried About Linux

Microsoft is worried about Linux One of my college friends got hired at Microsoft a few years ago. He manages their internal network so not high up in the ranks by any means. The other day we were talking about why I switched over to Mint. He understood my reasons and told me how a lot of people in the main office are seeing a shift with a lot of people. They said that the market share for Linux was around 2.5% when Windows 10 was introduced but as soon as Co-pilot was rolled out, the market share jumped to 4.2% and is climbing. It may not sound like much but that's huge. He also said Valve is part of the reason with their work with Proton. Enabling people to easily game on Linux. Plus, Nvidia putting more effort into their Linux drivers. It's just wild that they are finally worried. They should be.

A Reddit-style text post claims that Microsoft is worried because Linux adoption is increasing, helped by Steam Proton and better Nvidia drivers. The joke is the exaggerated confidence that a small market-share increase is a huge threat to Microsoft, especially after the unpopular Copilot rollout. It is used as a humorous Linux-fan reaction to Windows criticism or news about Linux gaining users.
