What's the percentage of Linux desktop users?

Last I heard it was only about 7% and the reason for that being is the
other 93% have pea sized brains and are brain dead and also trust "BIG
BROTHER" to look after them.

Honestly, if you're a windows user then Linux Mint is for you. Simple
like windows with only an hour or two learning curve!

According to many places, as of August 2025, the desktop operating
system market shares are somewhere around:

69.75% Windoze
11.48% unknown
8.69% OS X
4.79% macOS
3.93% Linux
1.36% Chrome OS

Are you fucking totally stupid? That only happens on certain boxes
and you have to opt in. Of course, most Linux users are pretty
stupid.

The video is spot on, David is a cybersecurity professional! I would
take his advice any day before yours.

His advice is not to avoid Windows, just not to by ARM based PCs but use
Intel or AMD instead with a recommendation for AMD.

Brain dead idiot!
Still in the loony bin?

JFTR: many Linux distros still include "sudo" by default.

Since you have to explicitly enable Recall, just don't opt in.

Also, if you do install Linux, because you want a more secure system, do
not use the Mint distro.

"Linux Mint provides fewer updates, offering a solid foundation and a
careful approach, which may appeal to users seeking a stable
environment. However, this approach may not always include the latest
security updates."

Also see "Navigating Secure Linux Distros for Enhanced Privacy in 2025" <https://linuxsecurity.com/features/must-read-articles/7-best-linux-distros-for-security-and-privacy-in-2020>.

You can certainly build a very secure Linux system, but you can't do it
with Mint.

Whoever made that video is pretty clueless about Microsoft Windows,
CoPilot, and Recall. He's obviously not a cybersecurity expert.
