(Linux Magazine’s profit model baffles me.) I still can't ascertain which way the author is trying to bias people towards Trinity. Most everything seems to be a very unsubtle backhanded complement. It’s almost like the author took everything good about TDE and tried to make it sound “bad?” Or was forced too, but took it to such an extreeme so that readers could easily read between the lines on how ‘good’ TDE is? Or maybe, as Nik says, the guys just a horrible writer? "Trinity dates from a time when functionality ... [was] more of a priority" "Trinity’s success lies in having fought the odds to provide a small group of users what it wants and in extending the choices for everyone." And since I’m a math head… "Trinity claimed only a 1.3 percent share." (of Linux users) additional info from various ‘internets’ sources... - Windows more generally (1.5 billion active users, a number that hasn’t moved, magically, in years), - For desktop and laptop computers, Windows is the most used at 75%, followed by Apple's macOS at 15%, and Linux-based operating systems, at 5% (i.e. "desktop Linux" at 2.48%, plus Google's Chrome OS at 2.38%, in the US up to 3.2%) Seems to indicate there are 650 thousand TDE users! 2,000,000,000 * 75.00% = 1,500,000,000 2,000,000,000 * 2.48% = 49,600,000 49,600,000 * 1.30% = 644,800 It seems like most TDE users never sign up on this list, how sad... ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
