Arch my eyebrows at this.

Microsoft keeps screwing up with 11, it's got a chance.

At least their’s things to look forward too to make it at least tolerable.

Oh I wish this post would age well but I have serious doubts about the Year of the Linux Desktop. Again.

Well, at least this joke is old enough to drown its sorrows in alcohol.

Switch 2 is pretty exciting.

Drama queen.

it has been the year of linux desktop here for decades. i have a linux desktop since slackware, and i think wgs linux, and other ones. man they were hard to get going, and you had to manually configure x which was brutal. once they were working with your monitor, they were actually fine as i recall

You need JESUS, or maybe a Linux Desktop.

But we still making music at home and connecting it with online musicians!

Considering that they're releasing steamOS soonish(?), that's probably truer than it's ever been

It is if you want it.

Burn oil for Trump to turn earth into hell Drill baby drill needs your cash Or the banks will collapse

😂

Again?

And 2025 is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology

oh no, this may be my first WOOOSH moment on Bluesky.

Work computer “upgraded” itself to WIN11 this week and, WTF??? Unfortunately corporate is unlikely to make that switch though.

And Bluesky.

The abyss giggles back.

Actually we are kicking all you neo fascist lefties to the curb.

And the switch 2

Dude, no! Finally we're good for comedy again! It was hard to dispute Biden for his failed mUscovia policy, effing moron losing weaklingshit. Idiot 20th century hands up surrender monkey! That's why the idiot lost. Good heart, no doubt, but if you don't know how to lead, get out off the game.

It's the year of the snake, not the penguin

Oooo, please please please PLEASE!!!

I started using Fedora in 2010. 32 bit Fedora,.. I have updated of course. 😍😂

Wow I didn't see that coming as I was reading your post... Year of Linux

I am doing a dual boot and using windows solely for gaming

Kinda works is definitely how I’d describe it though I think the less specialized stuff you need the better it works, but a lot of hyperniche stuff simply only exists for windows

desktop?? mine went down a few years back and it's still down.... but im trying to disroot my mobile away from any google and meta 💯

No! It’s finally the year of Virtual Desktop

Tell me more. Running Ubuntu, arch , and Kali over here .

I'm dreading setting up everything on a new OS, but as eol for win10 approaches it's looking inevitable, because god damn is win11 bad.

maybe

Global warming is not continuing unabated: I'm paying 49 cents a gallon for a carbon tax here in WA state.

Valve is now maintaining WINE, soooooo....

Again?

Finally, one good take from this crazy account

#zachxbtc Dex Top 🎩

Finally!

What? Again, that's 6 years in a row

Fedora 40 works for me!

Maybe every year has been

I switched my *very old* parents to Linux a decade ago so I didn't have to fix their computers all the time. They've been getting along just fine and I wouldn't call them computer experts. Modern Linux is easy AF to use.

clickbaiters gonna clickbait. i'm happily running linux, and that's all there is to it. others are free to do themselves.

Can you please enlighten me more on this Linux desktop?!!

I'm an early adopter, but I've been running either SuSE (don't use that, it's buggy, ditched it in 2004) or Gentoo on my desktop since 2000.

This post seems like it's tailor made for me :-D (I use Mint, btw)

Same here, and the "Linux desktop" in 1995 was not for the easily intimidated. Change screen resolution was done by hand editing a big text file with sync codes. The jokes are about the 1995 Linux desktop.

Yes, but which flavour of Linux? Lime, perhaps? 👍😄

Debian and Gnome are pretty groovy.

I really like Mint

Honestly I thought that was 2015.. and 2018... And 2019... And 2020... Etc...

Lenovo is bringing SteamOS to its devices. A first step in universalizing PC gaming, and a “yuge” leap for Linux.

GAAAAAH! We've been stuck with a used year!

we need everyone's help for this. companies have to start developing Linux compatible versions for ERP, games, government access keys, banking etc

🤣🤣🤣

They’re gonna execute order 66 and we all know what happened

i like your way of thinking - keep the positive news coming for 2025 👏

Is it tho?

Lololololol

*one finger on the Monkey’s Paw curls*

What is this desktop you speak of?

that's a weird coincidence that i saw this post while waiting for linux to install on my new desktop!

It's only gonna happen if Valve does a full release of SteamOS

Maybe there's a terminal command to lower the sea levels

Drive C levels are rising?

My favorite line from the Bill Gates vs Steve Jobs episode of Epic Rap Battles of History is when HAL 9000 busts in and says “I’m on Linux bitch, I thought you GNU.”

Human stupidity can lead to interesting times

Yesh .. we are getting desperate

Every year is the year of the Linux Desktop for me.

I just installed Fedora 41 as my main OS. :D

@me when I can play all games without needing a specific distro with specific drivers.

don't forget: 3rd world war comming soon...

FWIW, climate change isn't exactly "unabated." Yeah, we still haven't managed to stop the process completely, but for the past few years, we've consistently been in a better place than predicted, so we have succeeded in slowing it. A small victory, but worth celebrating.

About fucking time

Been hearing that one for ages. Won't happen unless Winblows implodes. Linux's diversity and the fact that it doesn't work well on some desktop hardware is at fault. Sometimes too many choices makes it difficult to pick a distributor. In the end its what works for you.

Yes, but in good news, none of this is real. This isn’t happening. Think about it. It’s incredibly stupid. RFK Jr is in charge of health stuff, Donald Trump is president, again, Elon Musk is now… whatever he is. Or would be, if this was real and actually happening. Which it clearly isn’t.

Pretty sure I've heard that story every year since 1995.

Right-wing authoritarianism has been on the rise since 1992. And every single administration since has been a party to it. The Overton window used to move a lot slower. But now that we're at "death gurgle" stage capitalism, they're going full speed. Linux is great, though. 👌

Honestly just wanting a Facebook alternative, something to keep up with friends and family and that’s it.

Who will keep the fakers / scammers at bay? Blue sky has its share of fakers already. How can we take someone we find fake and take em down a notch?

They are? Never knew that.

Only ios ⁉️ WTH loops.video

I’ve never used one.

And RPM and DEB packaging will merge.

My gaming pc uses Pop!_OS, because I don’t want to give Microsoft my money, and Valve made Linux a good OS for gaming.

Hold it... I thought that was in 2010??

Hooray! It's all going to be a-okay.

The Linux desktop will save us, all hail the penguin!
