Despite Microsoft’s push to get customers onto Windows 11, growth in the market share of the software giant’s latest operating system has stalled, while Windows 10 has made modest gains, according to fresh figures from Statcounter.
This is not the news Microsoft wanted to hear. After half a year of growth, the line for Windows 11 global desktop market share has taken a slight downturn, according to the website usage monitor, going from 35.6 percent in October to 34.9 percent in November. Windows 10, on the other hand, managed to grow its share of that market by just under a percentage point to 61.8 percent.
The dip in usage comes just as Microsoft has been forcing full-screen ads onto the machines of customers running Windows 10 to encourage them to upgrade. The stats also revealed a small drop in the market share of its Edge browser, despite relentlessly plugging the application in the operating system.
Here’s step four of Mint’s installation guide:
Integrity check
To check the integrity of your local ISO file, generate its SHA256 sum and compare it with the sum present in sha256sum.txt.
sha256sum -b yourfile.iso
Then we get this:
You know Windows is exactly the same right?
- Right-click Start and select Windows PowerShell.
- Navigate to the folder with the iso image. cd ~/Downloads
- Check the hash Get-FileHash Win10_2004_English_x64.iso | Format-List
Nice try, though. I’ll let you have one more go.
Windows is just too difficult for normies to use. All that command line stuff, PowerShell, registry stuff.

Cool whataboutism; I was told ‘you never need the command line’ and then the installation instructions for Mint have you using the command line. Plus you regularly need it in Linux, and you don’t in Windows. That’s the point.

Do you actually think, sigh, ‘normies’ use the command line, powershell, or registry in Windows? The whole point is you can use it but don’t have to. On linux you’re forced to use it at times.
