    It actually feels like in a few years, the year of the linux desktop will become real. Not even joking.

      For the longest time I had the opinion of “I wish I could switch to Linux but so many things just won’t work on it. and troubleshooting Linux is a nightmare.” yet now almost every day-to-day task on Linux works fine with little issue. For me the only two things keeping me chained to Windows are photo editing (no good Linux app exists and Windows versions don’t work well) and live events (using many different pro-end devices that don’t have full support for Linux) so I have Windows on a small SSD for when I have no choice but to use it yet now I happily daily drive Garuda and hope that one day I can remove that SSD entirely.

      The year of the Linux Desktop might not be right now, yet it’s definitely becoming more promising if we’re seeing more and more “regular users” making the switch.
