You might find the StackOverflow surveys more representative: they crown Windows as the most used OS, with a solid margin.

Baaahaahaa. Awesome!

And? Why should I care what the clueless use?

You are the clueless

You seem to have this bizarre delusion that you're actually knowledgeable. You really are not.

Get over that.

Please don't sneer at the community. The HN audience disproportionately includes experienced programmers, data scientists, machine learning experts, sysadmins, other advanced tech professionals, power users and hacker types who like to be able to control and customize their tools. It's not surprising that Linux and macOS are more popular here than in mainstream society. However it's not the HN way to be arrogant or elitist against the broader population. Sure, it happens but it's against the guidelines and we penalize accounts that act that way. So we just don't want any of this kind of rhetoric here, whether it's "pro" or "anti" the HN community and its ways.

If you'd take a moment to read the guidelines and make an effort to observe them in future we'd be grateful. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

No

Fine but we have to ban accounts that break the guidelines repeatedly. This applies to everyone equally.
