Clickbaity title on the original article, but I think this is the most important point to consider from it:

After getting to 1% in approximately 2011, it took about a decade to double that to 2%. The jump from 2% to 3% took just over two years, and 3% to 4% took less than a year.

Get the picture? The Linux desktop is growing, and it’s growing fast.

    I never use the “App Menu” on my laptop I don’t even have any favorites.

    I hit the super button (windows key) to open the app overview and type the first few letters and hit enter.

    So e.g. SUPER fi Enter Firefox opens with just 4 key strokes in 1 second

      I instinctively do that as well, on Windows, Cinnamon and Plasma and it didnt work on Gnome, Superkey opened the Startmenu but then typing didnt search. Thats what I wanted to ask, if I miss something obvious or if Gnome doesnt offer that feature out of the box.

      Debian probably changed the Key for the Spotlight-like search.
