🐧 Big news for Linux users! Linux desktop market share has officially surpassed 5% in the U.S. for the first time ever, according to the latest StatCounter data.

What's driving this growth? Users are increasingly fed up with Windows due to privacy concerns, forced upgrades, and Windows 10 reaching end-of-life. The popular Steam Deck handheld console, powered by Linux, is also introducing a new wave of users to Linux gaming. Plus, modern Linux distributions have become much more user-friendly, appealing to mainstream audiences.

Interestingly, if you combine Linux (5.03%) with Chrome OS (2.7%), the Linux family now makes up about 7.7% of desktop usage in the U.S.—a notable milestone for open-source enthusiasts.

This growth signals not only a shift in consumer preferences but also opportunities for businesses, developers, and hardware makers. As Linux adoption continues to rise, expect stronger vendor support, a growing talent pool, and increased innovation opportunities across the tech industry.

Are you one of the new Linux converts? Or considering a switch soon? Let’s discuss! 👇

Vibe Coding for Beginners Review: Is This AI Tool Worth $14 for App Creation?

bitcoin_beginners

I bought my first #Bitcoin at $4.

I bought my first #Bitcoin at $4.

Yes, four dollars.

It was a different time, almost impossible to imagine today. Crypto was raw, exciting, and uncharted territory. I was early, but like many early adopters, I learned some hard lessons along the way.

One of those lessons cost me dearly: I lost 33 BTC when my seed phrase was compromised.

At today's valuation, that's hundreds of thousands of dollars gone in a heartbeat. A painful lesson in security, custody, and personal responsibility. It stung. Badly. But it also shaped me.

Instead of giving up, I doubled down—on educating myself, diversifying strategies, and finding smarter ways to invest. Now, my approach is more disciplined, structured, and secure.

Today, I invest in Bitcoin through a self-directed IRA. It’s a far cry from the wild west days of crypto, but it lets me invest confidently, securely, and strategically. Tax efficiency and peace of mind are the new goals.

My crypto journey started at $4 Bitcoin, had highs, lows, devastating losses, and ultimately, growth.

Crypto isn’t just an investment, it’s an education.

Stay safe. Stay smart. Keep learning.

Fake bands and artificial songs are taking over YouTube and Spotify

I'm taking an alternative approach. Use AI to release albums, then hire musicians to play the music at live venues.
