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.

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

Gaming is the best commercial inroad I’ve seen, and exploding.
But I think the “kernel anticheat” thing is going to be a hard wall until Valve works it out. Unfortunately, big OEMs don’t want to ship a “gaming PC” that can’t run Fortnite.

Linux is that feeling of your computer not becoming worse every year. Windows and mac users dont know what that is.

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.

You can only abuse your customers so much before they move on. I have long enjoyed using Windows, but when they announced my perfectly usable laptop wouldn't be able to get 11 thanks to no TPM, and I had to go through a complicated set of hoops to manually install it, that was my breaking point. I will keep Windows for some limited stuff on dual boot on one machine, but elsewhere I'm going Linux only

2025 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.
or the year of ww3.. maybe both actually

Wait, is it 2006 already?

For me, it's date +%s
Deja vu 🤔
The year of Linux on the desktop was the friends we made along the way…
I'm loving to see all these people jumping to Linux. I switched back in 2008 with Ubuntu 8.10. So much has changed since then.
Fingers crossed for socials skills in FOSS communities, then it's game over for big tech

...and a year when Half life 3 is released ;)

Linux desktop has been here for a while, wake me up when BSD desktops become more viable

The year of the Linux desktop is whenever you make it !! For me, that was 2002, the year I ditched windows for good....
World Revolution 2026 trust.
Xx-zones dbus_annotation and ext-tray get merged and implemented into kde and global shortcuts stop sucking and I'll call it.

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.

2007 for me.
Anyone having any luck running Bazzite for VR gaming?
