Hot take (?): For anyone who has made the switch, it was the year or the Linux desktop. 🤷♂️
Every Year Is The Year Of The Linux Desktop!
That's a fun take! My year of Linux was 2007.
Same 🙂 Around 2004 ish I started experimenting with live CDs of some KDE distro. I managed to also corrupt one of my hard drives doing so. Not a fun day I remember. But I learned some valuables that day, for sure.
Mine will be this year, I only have 1 system left to put Linux on.
I'm just currently learning some RAW photo editors before I cancel my Lightroom sub.
Fusion360 was dropped a few months ago when FreeCAD went 1.0 (after I learned it enough of course)
Welcome to the family! 🤌🤌🫂
At this point all my systems (except the Windows machine) are running Kubuntu, and NGL it's awesome.
Sounds like a good entry point!
And for many - it will be 😀
mine was last year
mine is this year!
I remember it so clearly. "Ooh, multiple desktops. It'll take forever until Windows gets this." (It was 1996. Newbies should try messing with fvwm. Now that was configurable.)
2017 for me!
(I had been using Linux on some systems since 2002 and first tried it in the late '90s, but 2017 was the year in which I ditched Windows even on my gaming machine, permanently.)
Nah I definitely was giving stuff up to use Linux back in the day. Really, I'd say 2021 was when things got REALLY good.
I'm assuming you mean gaming? Yeah, I rarely boot into Windows these days, honestly.
Whatever it is though, it's always a compromise. There are things with Windows we can't get on Linux still, and there have been things with Linux which Windows still hasn't provided, for decades. Either way you go is a trade-off. But when I installed Linux and started using it more than Windows, I consider that my year or the Linux desktop. When the only thing I booted Windows for was to launch Steam.
