I still play Nexuiz, so, I’m cool thinking it’s 2006 for a minute.
This is a triumph. I’m making a note here, huge success. It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction.
Yep, the 2000s are the next decade to come back, and I’m here for it.

2023 will be the year of the linux desktopYou know, the Steamdeck’s success might actually make that some kind of true

That’s what brought me to linux back 200…4 ? 5?
Then it disappeared because (not sure here:) canonical wouldnt support compiz/beryl… or was it gnome2 ?But now you tell me it’s back and you made my day

My favorite open source story:
I was at the #Educause Annual Conference back in the early 2010s running SLED11 with the cube enabled. I was spinning away when the person next to me asked what it was and what OS I was running. I replied, “Linux” he said, “oh, that’s for you technical types.”
Later, same scenario (different person), but when I replied, “this is is Windows Longhorn, the pre-release of Vista,” the person was so impressed with Microsoft’s innovation.
I can’t help but roll my eyes when Linux is labelled as “technical” when all I do all day is click on icons and pull down menus. It was slightly more complicated a decade or two ago, but then Windows was quite broken too at the time.
(ok, I do open a terminal now and then to check on stuff, but I could just use YaST. And I don’t really have to check on stuff, as it’s just working as intended anyway)
