I’m calling it 🙌
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.
I mean we have Slimbook for Linux Hardware
And Tuxedo and System 76
For me, it’s
date +%sFingers crossed for socials skills in FOSS communities, then it’s game over for big tech
Hear hear. The voice of our community, LazerDickMcCheese.
I spent several hours last night talking about FOSS projects and tech certifications to a guy in entry-level IT. I’m out here doing my best, guys
They’ll just take the ick out of his name when he assumes his PR/Community manager role
Nah, just add some fancy shit, like Dr. LazerDickMcCheese, esq.
Linux desktop has been here for a while, wake me up when BSD desktops become more viable
or the year of ww3… maybe both actually
The great Linux distro world war.
They come around more often than the Olympics.
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
You can only abuse your customers so much
you’d think so… but the number of friends and family who still put up with this shit is incredible. Ads in the start menu, copilot popping up every time you press a wrong button on the keyboard, the entire task bar changing overnight with ads and stock tickers…
That last one pisses me off so much… “i dont want to learn linux!”… MF’er, microsoft just rearranged your entire task bar and start menu overnignt and you didnt seem to have a problem adapting your workflow… why would switching to gnome or KDE be any different?
That was the free space on my 2026 bingo card!
And my 2025 one.
And the last ten years’ ones.
Linux is that feeling of your computer not becoming worse every year. Windows and mac users dont know what that is.
Honesty mine gets better, the more I learn about my system the more I can optimize it to my needs
I’m like actually excited for updates to my operating system. That hasn’t been true for Android or Windows in years. The last I remember being excited for an update was iOS on my iPod Touch, but from what I hear, people aren’t even really that hyped for iOS updates any more.
✨I don’t get Advertisements built into my Computer✨
You should try a normal distro like Mint or Zorin.
Arch and its forks aren’t stable distros and they’re best for experimentation rather than daily use.
Please research the meaning of stability when applied to Linux before parroting stuff. Also, who mentioned Arch?
Unbelievably ignorant take.
Arch and its forks are, in my view, the BEST options for a daily use desktop.
Xx-zones dbus_annotation and ext-tray get merged and implemented into kde and global shortcuts stop sucking and I’ll call it.
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.
I know that the market verdict is “eh who cares”, but I really dont think anyone should think that invasive kernel-level anticheat is at all acceptable.
Okay, but for real, 2027 is going to be a real banger for Linux desktop, I’ve got a feeling!
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.

The year of the Linux desktop is whenever you make it !! For me, that was 2002, the year I ditched windows for good…
