Like every year

Love this New Year tradition! 👍

Every year is the year of the linux desktop, it's growing and won't stop.

Finally!

If the EU dedicates itself to digital sovereignty before the US starts turning the wheel back away from self-sabotage, we might actually have a chance.

I forgot where I read it, but someone said in the 1990s Sun's marketing was going on about "Year of Java", but ultimately nobody could tell what year the Year of Java actually was, because it just kinda happened. And given that in the 1990s the big push was for Java applets, which was a bit of a misadventure, you could argue that the Java breakthrough was ultimately something the marketing didn't focus on (full blown desktop apps, backend Web code). Sometimes in a way that the marketing didn't approve of (J2ME was kinda popular, but know what dwarfs it? Android. And that's not JVM and that makes Java marketing sad.)

So don't worry about the Year of the Linux Desktop. You won't even notice it. It'll happen.

It has been for me since 2004. But yeah 2026 too.

I love the enthusiasm but I think we should honestly stop chasing "The Year Of The Linux Desktop™️". I think it only serves as a depressant.

Let's just keep focusing on making Linux great for experienced and new users alike. 👀
