    I am I the only one that thinks 2024 was a great year for Linux Desktop?

    Not in any real advancements in Linux, but because Windows in now shit enough 3 of my non-techy friends switched to Ubuntu just to avoid Windows.

    Disclaimer: All 3 were gamers that saw me playing the games they cared about on Steam Deck. So it was actually Steam Deck that did the heavy lifting in this example.

    I mean, it’s not mainstream Linux usage, but it’s a damn good step forward, right? Even if it is just people giving it reasonable consideration 😄

    Edit: Typo

    It’s not that it’s such a great act in itself, it’s no where near enough.

    But.
    This is a significant win as a large, profitable and respected company is seen to be doing something so insignificant and get such good marketing results. This is the best kind of encouragement we can give to the souless retail machine 😉 And yes… “We will sing your praises if you just follow basic laws” is a pretty low bar, but here we are 😄
