I’m calling it 🙌
Linux is that feeling of your computer not becoming worse every year. Windows and mac users dont know what that is.
✨I don’t get Advertisements built into my Computer✨
Honesty mine gets better, the more I learn about my system the more I can optimize it to my needs
Mine gets worse, this is a me problem though. Writing automated scripts that I forget about or give non descript names to 🤤
I mean its free. Installer are incredible easy. Steam says 90% of games are compatible. Libreoffice has all the features.
The last straw are manufactures delivering hardware with M$ bullshit preinstalled.
Yeah, that’s not a straw, though. It’s like a redwood. A forest of redwoods.
You can actually buy Linux computers from dell and Lenovo and they’re even cheaper because you don’t pay for the Microsoft license
Cheaper? Nah I want quality. And for the best, you have to pay more. Nothing is for free. /s
I mean we have Slimbook for Linux Hardware
And Tuxedo and System 76
Linux gaming also taking off. New Jolla phone on the way. Valve is also being helpful. On top of that the ‘Buy European’ movement also comes at the right time.
I dare to say it’s looking pretty good
It is 2010. It is the year of the Linux desktop.
It is 2018. It is the year of the Linux desktop.
It is 2026. It is the year of the Linux desktop.
No you don’t get it, it’s different this time trust me bro.
Why would it be not the year of the Linux desktop?
For me the year of the Linux desktop has been every year since 2007.
2026 I will continue to use the Linux Desktop. My current prediction and I’m sticking to it
The year of the linux desktop is different for every one. For me it was 2003. Haven’t looked back since and everytime I’m forced to use Windows, I feel like I need to take a shower.
Windows just doesn’t feel like home anymore. You can’t control it, you can’t make it your own.
For me, it’s
date +%s2025 already was, and it continues. The ecosystem and Proton have changed the game (no pun intended), and even normies are starting to switch.
I finally migrated from MacOS (other than Logic Pro) and Windows. Keep Windows around for some games but it is no longer first in boot order on any machine, and I am delighted.
Every time I boot to Windows it drags ass forever, updates, reboots, repeats, and by the time I can use it I am not even interested.
Deja vu 🤔
…and a year when Half life 3 is released ;)
Nope, it is NOT happening.
uninjects your hopium
2026 shouldn’t be the year of any one specific thing; 2026 should be the year of teaching the less inclined how to be conscious with their data and go over methods for taking back their data from whatever service they might use.
Based.
World Revolution 2026 trust.
Linux desktop has been here for a while, wake me up when BSD desktops become more viable
What is the point of freebs? It just seams like an enfirior operating system with a worse license to go with it.
BSDs are mostly for servers. For personal, “home and office” use the best BSD in regard of hardware support and userbase is FreeBSD.
If you have limited time, please consider buying the BSD (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonflyBSD, MidnightBSD etc.) a coffee once in a while, in order to really wake up some day and see the news of the year of BSD.
They come around more often than the Olympics.
I’ll be trying to contribute to that!
Already hit a difficulty since my workplace uses Microsoft for everything and the admins lock out third party stuff. I guess I can access files on outlook and OneDrive via browser based options but God they’re awful.
Teams works on Linux and i think OneDrive is technically webdav. I avoid mixing Microsoft and Linux, but i believe the modern (web) applications should work everywhere.
Yeah, I think if it’s web apps it’s fine, just aren’t ideal. I was mostly frustrated I couldn’t use a third party email app or OneDrive integration app. It’s more a grievance with the university I work for, though.
Third-party email clients would work if not blocked for employers configuration.
That’s what I figured and I appreciate the confirmation. Since I work in education it’s probably a “better safe than sorry” approach since the laws on student privacy are actually enforced, unlike in corporate. (Obviously it’s security theater, though, as web apps and Windows integration make emails and files easy to steal anyway).
