When is going to be the year of the Linux desktop?
Next year

Ah the Ferrari delivery methodology. Love it.
(currentYear + 1);
I am interested to see what 2024 has in store for the Linux desktop.
Immutable distros seem to be the new cool thing, and for once I buy it, they greatly increase stability and reproducibility. It's about time we see the rule 34 of Linux desktop configuration, if you can think of it there is already a GitHub repository with a configuration for it.
Also, gaming has greatly improved! If a few years ago you said to me I could buy a PS5 controller to play games on my Linux machine, I would lose my mind. Well, the order is arriving on Thursday!
Some governments are making honest efforts to go full open source, investing in the libre office and other tooling they deem necessary.
Last but not least, nowadays most apps are browser based, they are cross platform by default.
"rule 34 of Linux desktop configuration"
You... want to fuck Linux desktop configs?
To be fair, I've seen some Linux desktop configs that were pretty fucked.
Anyway, don't kink shame. Unless your kink is kink shaming. In that case I'm not sure what you're supposed to do. Start a religion, I guess?
That got me good, thanks for the laugh!
That's the reason I named it the "rule 34 of linux desktop configs". In the past 2 years, I have observed a friend's journey to a fully automated setup. It started with a bash script, which was then converted to an ansible playbook, then a python script, and now a ublue config.
The depths some people will go to fuck (figuratively) with their machines is inspiring!
Haha, no worries.
Sounds like your friend's config file will be turing-complete soon. Then it will need it's own operating system. With it's own config file.

What’s “the Linux desktop”? New distro?
