Linux continues to be above 4% on the desktop
According to the StatCounter, Linux on the desktop has continued to rise and remains above 4%, with this being the healthiest it's ever looked on the desktop.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
I know that this year I had went to my Linux box as my virtually only desktop.
My laptop I take to game will probably get swapped over as I got it in 2018. With some dork ups (Like my Diablo, SC2, and WoW not working right, when it had been) I've not had to do anything to game on my windows box (which is also the older, not upgraded machine)
I imagine many people feel the same way. I used to use my linux box for productivity and exploration, and win for gaming. Not so much nw
God damn the #Helldivers2 marketing team are hilarious.

Traditional Japanese diet associated with less brain shrinkage in women compared to western diet, says research
"The typical Japanese diet is characterised by foods such as rice, fish and shellfish, and fruits (especially citrus fruits). But what makes this diet unique are traditional Japanese foods such as miso (fermented soybean paste), seaweed, pickles, green tea, soybeans, soybeans sprouts and mushrooms (such as shiitake). Notably, this diet is also characterised by low intake of red meat and coffee."
