It’s finally the year of the Linux Desktop! And all it took was an apocalypse, the rise of the fourth reich, (soon to be) two global recessions, and continuing unprecedented damage to the world order / faith in international law.
Oh, and Windows actively trying its absolute hardest to make everyone hate it for about a decade.
But hey,… progess! The more penguins, the better.
Linux’s message to the world: “The I-Told-You-So’s Shall Continue Until Installation Rates Improve.”
we brought this upon ourselves by failing to listen to the FOSS gods.

Absolutely wild brand activation tactics from the Linux marketing team.

You’re off by about thirty years.
Nah, Windows XP and 7 get a pass. These were solid consumer OS’s.
You go back 30 years and you’re at Windows 95 (holy shit) and the beginning of massive home PC adoption.
I don’t feel they got hostile towards users until probably midway through Windows 10 lifecycle. The first half wasn’t that bad, aside from changing up 20+ years of muscle-memory…but Gnome did that, too.
The French are doing the right thing. Getting independent from the US software dominance takes time and the US regime could decide any day to use it stupidly and brutally. I just wish my government had as much foresight.
This is why, as an Aussie, I’m very disappointed in our subservience to the US all the time. It’s honestly pathetic. We abandoned our initial plan for, admittedly not cutting edge tech, french-built submarines to go with far better-specced US-built subs but who knows if we’ll ever actually get any of them.
Honestly, I don’t trust the sepos not to hamstring them somehow.
