This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I'm not in the US, but here in the UK I made the switch too.
I went from Windows PC + Windows laptop ~2 years ago to now having a Linux PC (ZorinOS), Samsung tablet and a home server running Proxmox with an Ubuntu VM for Docker.
Never been happier with my setup. The grass truly is greener over here.
Hopefully this surge in users make people want to develop for it a lot more and break more walls for others who are interested.
At some point companies will be forced to accept that they're losing out on revenue by not releasing a linux version of their software.
Finally, the year of Desktop Linux. Twenty years after we were promised. And it's still a pittence, but I'll take it.
I'm on a Mac, only use Linux for server stuff, but the more people we can get off Windows, the better. Let's go!
Woooo! Year of the linux desktop baby!!
I switched to mint like a month before PewDiePie lol
My main issue is that I kinda need actual Excel every so often because I require things like power query. I tried installing it using Wine, but it needs to authenticate with Microsofts servers, even the older versions.
I'm just waiting for double digits so that the FiveM devs can't ignore Linux gamers anymore and actually allow for GTAV online playability. I mean, you can run a server on Linux but can't play? Dumb.
Thanks, Gaben.
Just switched to Linux for my daily driver laptop!
I mean good for the desktop experience on Linux, its taken the movement of most desktop apps to the web to make OS choice basically immaterial. I’ll still nitpick some things in linux that are still worse than Windows (i’ve replaced my htpc with a cheapo N100 and its better in most ways, worse in a few smaller things), but the most important thing is that the things I mostly use a desktop for (namely media consumption, browsing, some game streaming, and docker containers) its more or less the same as using windows or macos.
It would probably be more if there weren't so many Linux gatekeepers that tell people to "go back to Windows/Apple" when they ask a questions.
I've only ever found the Linux community helpful. I'm not saying there aren't dicks out there (I saw the one in this thread even) but for the most part people are more than willing to help out.
