You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. You have no idea how much the Linux desktop experience has improved just in the past 10, or even 5 years. There’s been LEAPS in advancement and Windows compatibility. It gets easier to use by the day. And Steam deciding to use Linux for its gaming devices is one proof of that.

In addition, this adoption means there will be much higher demand for new features and functionality, and potentially greater bug discovery. And there will be an increased involvement in the development and improvement from European countries to achieve these goals. Which will lead to an even faster growth and improvement of Linux in general.

So? You still get the updates sooner or later.

What enshittification? It’s one of the best distributions out there!

good!

And my faith in humanity recedes even further.

I used to be a build engineer at an enterprise Linux company that built custom Linux distributions for various device manufacturers.

I built a whole build automation system that used what would be the equivalent of a Docker container for the build system, and it was distributed across the whole company to make simultaneous build in parallel and a system that would check how many build systems were in use or available with a queueing system.

All written in Bash, Perl and Python.

Does a 1st gen Microsoft Surface Pro count?

ok.

Look at me. A geriatric Linux user.

Back in my day we forwarded X over SSH. Which was the style at the time.

I’ve been using XFree86 and Xorg for so long. I’ll have to learn how to configure Wayland in case shit hits the fan. I also wonder how that will affect remote ssh X forwarding, or NVIDIA drivers.

I’m starting to get really excited for the next LTS. There’s going to be huge changes. Might have to reinstall the whole thing though just to be safe.

Linux Mint is nice, but I feel like the look & feel is starting to look outdated. Otherwise it’s an excellent choice.

He means the best in desktop experience when it comes to desktops with the best adoptability.

Hyprland is a compositor, not a desktop environment.

AH ok I get it now.

Yeah, I thin the first Switch will be the last console I’ll ever own. Except for big IP titles, most games are available on PC as well. And are often better, with more effects and higher refresh rates. And with devices like the Lenovo Legion Go, they blow even the Switch 2 out of the water. And you also control the software on it. They can’t be bricked by the manufacturer for modifying the software either. And you can use any other controller you want.

Nintendo is in big trouble.

I think you posted in the wrong thread maybe?

Wait… can you please explain?

I’d like to use a Linux phone, but it has to run Android apps though. They Gotta find a way, else it’s never gonna happen.

I’ve tried Plasma Mobile on a Surface tablet. It does not look like that.

Add to that the butt ugly blue and yellow icon from the 90’s.

Diaspora had it going on I found. It’s a shame it didn’t catch on. And that they didn’t adapt it to ActivityPub.
