    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.

      Absolutely wild brand activation tactics from the Linux marketing team.

      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.

      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.
