The rise of Linux is upon us

[–] troydowling@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago (2 children)

The perpetual year of the Linux desktop.

[–] gnuplusmatt@startrek.website 9 points 11 months ago

Year of the Linux desktop for most users is always n+1

For me it has been since 2012.

[–] CeeBee@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

The year of the Linux desktop already came and went.

I'd be down with Valve making a proprietary distribution of SteamOS that's easily installable, and works with other CPUs.

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Wasn't this the basic premise of SteamMachines?

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 2 points 11 months ago

Valve is planning on Making SteamOS available to install for regular Desktops at some point, though it has taken them awhile. In the meantime, Linux Mint is pretty terrific.

The one thing Microsoft will never do is try to deliver a good product. The executives would rather gouge the users for every last penny and steal all their data, and this will be it's downfall. Linux has the advantage, and is only getting started.

[–] Smacks@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I don't think they actively try to release a bad product, but anything good is an anomaly of using minimal effort
