>September wasn’t a good month for Windows 10. After enjoying uninterrupted meteoric growth since launch, usage share for the new OS actually dropped off last month, according to the latest figures from NetMarketShare announced on Saturday.
>That's not the only bad news for Microsoft either. Gamers, who typically prefer to be running the latest operating system, also turned their back on Windows 10 in September.
>According to the latest Steam survey, which provides a snapshot of the kinds of computer hardware and software that customers of Steam’s gaming platform are using each month, Windows 10 use declined fractionally in September, although it still has very impressive 48.9 percent of the desktop operating system market.
>Steam actually breaks the OS down by version, and according to its figures, Windows 10 64-bit, which has a whopping 47.48 percent share, actually grew by 0.04 percentage points in September, but the 32-bit version, which is just on 1.42 percent, fell by 0.09 percentage points. Overall, that means Windows 10 fell by a combined 0.05 percentage points.
also morons don't understand that steam considers W10 anniversary update an "other" system

Right, wake me up in a decade when Linux can actually be used, because it's worse than 90's DOS right now.

You got no choice goy, we will MAKE you use windows 10
What's funny is that many of the criticisms of Windows 10 could also be applied to MacOS and Linux as well. Not the privacy stuff, I mean the way Windows 10 is changing how filing, security, having a centralized "app store," etc. Windows is trying to become more like Unix, to the point of having a Bash shell. It's meant to appeal more to developers, whereas before it was meant to appeal to users, where you could install whatever you want in a wild west sort of way. Wanting you to download everything form a centralized repository to prevent compatibility issues is a Unix thing, it's just new to Windows users so it scared people. People criticize Windows 10 for making it difficult to let you install programs wherever you want. This is alos true of Linux, you don't choose how programs install unless you are technologically knowledgeable and using a custom distro or something. You need to use symlinks to manage folders, when you download something it doesn't give you much of a choice. The permissions system in Linux is frustrating, I found it difficult to create another Steam folder on another drive.
I just feel like people don't realize what Linux actually is. You aren't going to get a Windows XP/7 experience in Linux. A lot of the things long term Windows users don't like about Windows 10 are standard on Mac and Linux. Unless you use something like Gentoo Linux barely gives you more control over your own system than Windows does.

you don't need win10 to use vulkan, user.

I'm hoping it's just embedded devices or HTPC's but there's probably a fair share of retards that actually use 32-bit on a desktop.
