Linux

I was looking at Ubuntu's site, and apparently over 20 million people use it if I'm remembering correctly. Not sure how many use Windows.

I work with Ubuntu for a non-profit and we install it on computers that we give to impoverished families in third-world countries. Ubuntu is primarily big in either those places or emerging markets. I.E. - places without a stable internet connection readily available.

Hey. Ubuntu is also used in very respectable places like military organizations. It's a useable system.

I doubt the 20 million that do use it use it exclusively.

It would be the best thing in the world if game devs all over started supporting Linux. It'd mean less money going to Microsoft for Windows and more money going to devs and publishers while supporting a decent OS and would cause the single largest evolution in any industry ever.

As for linux not having many games, it's an endless cycle: there are few games on linux -> people using linux are not interested in games or use windows -> the companies don't see it as a profitable platform -> there are few games on linux

Yeah, that's what's sad about it.
