Year of the Linux desktop year

You know why we say it every year? Because every year is the year of the Linux desktop

Games are one thing that keeps people stuck on Windows so more games on Linux, either native or through API emulation, does potentially allow more people to consider the switch.

It's often also professional software such as Photoshop or AutoCAD that keep them on Windows. Programs they use a lot all day for work.

I would say that it's often not the same computer.

It's already year of linux on everything else from mobile devices, VR (meta quest) to servers.

I don't think its year of the linux desktop, but, as people try to become more independent, there will certainly be a push. Countries like China in the government already apparently use Linux

And, there is hopefully a bigger push for SteamOS based gaming handheld consoles. GOG integration with SteamOS would be awesome too
