I genuinely think last year was the “year of the Linux desktop” and will likely be looked at that way in the future. I know multiple people IRL who have moved to it not because they couldn’t use 11 but because they were fed up with all of the nonsense from Microsoft.
I’m one of them. I’ve dabbled before, but never stuck with it. Then I had a ton of issues with Windows 11, but the straw that broke the camel’s back was seeing a Copilot button in fucking Notepad.
Now I’m on EndeavourOS, and it genuinely feels like a more user-friendly experience. So congrats, Microsoft. You’re not even the “just works” option anymore.
So 2026 will be the year of AI slop then.
the year of the linux desktop is getting delayed AGAIN?!
No, that’s getting pushed up in the schedule. It’s happening NOW!
It’s it, though? Lol
Yes. Linux usage is the highest it’s ever been, and rising. Linux Mandate of Heaven, Microsoft Century of Humiliation.

Be a part of the solution, do you have Linux installed on your personal computer?

Just Slop. AI is silent.
Hallelujah!
Much like 2025, 2024…
