  1. CW: Truly opinionated comment about KDE

    I don't want to be politics but all these pushing around #KDE on #Linux and #FreeBSD will push more users away from these open source operative systems.

    If I was #M$ I will do everything to push KDE on my opensource competitors... 🙄

  2. Finally got my own #ARM motherboard with #CIX P1 SoC!

    2026 has already begun as the #yearofthelinuxdesktop, should I tag it as #yearofthearmlinuxdesktop? Can't wait for the RISC-V chips!

  3. A security update to CUPS broke printing in Linux Mint 21.3 in 2025, AKA the year of the Linux desktop. Yargh !

    This is the first time that I've ever actually restored a Timeshift backup, and the sonofabitch just worked. Held back the CUPS update in Update Manager and boom, problem solved (for now).

  4. "For decades, the phrase “Year of the Linux Desktop” has been tossed around like a tech industry punchline. But now, it’s no longer a meme—it’s a movement.

    This isn’t just about numbers—it’s about momentum. GNU/Linux’s desktop share hovered below 2% for years. But since 2020, it’s been climbing fast.

    From the lens of @purism this shift is more than market share—it’s a cultural awakening."

  5. @samuelsantaella @itsfoss I agree - that is the only real reason. #YotLD is not about anything technical, nor about market share! The true practical definition of #YotLD is when people can simply walk in to physical stores. and buy affordable laptops with #LinuxPreinstalled.

    Remember, most people don't install Windows or macOS on their computers. In fact, they have no concept of an operating system - it's just a computer. They are only concerned with using the apps!
