#YearOfLinuxOnTheDesktop

esaI've seen some varying opinions around <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/EndOf10" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EndOf10</a> and <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> and the inevitable <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/YearOfLinuxOnTheDesktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#YearOfLinuxOnTheDesktop</a> meme, and I want to chime in that this is a regular part of the OS lifecycle. Linux users might appear in a slow dribble otherwise, but we grow more rapidly when MS fumbles. I started Linux to get away from <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/WindowsME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WindowsME</a>, and there were similar moods around <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/WindowsVista" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WindowsVista</a> and <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/Windows8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Windows8</a>. The event is neither a joke nor a start of Linux supremacy, just a good opportunity.

Dave Wilburn :donor:Me, naively: "I think I'll spend some time troubleshooting this minor Linux sound problem. Surely Linux sound support has improved over the last few years."[...]Me, several hours later, wearing torn and filthy rags and screaming on a street corner: "AND THE LIVING SHALL ENVY THE DEAF!"Onlooker: "'Deaf?' Don't you mean 'dead'?"Me: "DID I FUCKING STUTTER?"<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/yearoflinuxonthedesktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#yearoflinuxonthedesktop</a>

Aaron LongchampsI don't even run Windows at home anymore now that I moved gaming over to my Mac, but even I hope Microsoft rethinks their release of Recall. I did have plans to replace my old gaming PC this year with a newer PC, but not anymore.I do appreciate the security researchers who have poked holes in the design and already created things like TotalRecall. This lets us all see why it's going to be a bad idea before it really gets released.I also really like that I've seen some other people asking apps they rely on for Linux support. If you don't need Windows anymore, there's no need to run it.Yes, I know Recall is only available on a limited set of computers running the right hardware, and it can be turned off in settings. But how many people will remember to do that?<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#privacy</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/recall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#recall</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/yearoflinuxonthedesktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#yearoflinuxonthedesktop</a>

🇺🇦PhotoSniperFox🇺🇦So far both <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Microsoft</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Windows</a> and <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Google</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Android</a> have both <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/installed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#installed</a> an " <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> " (there's no such thing since none of this is <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/intelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#intelligence</a>) on my <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/hardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hardware</a> without asking <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/permission" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#permission</a> or letting me <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/uninstall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#uninstall</a> it.I guess it's finally the <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/YearOfLinuxOntheDesktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#YearOfLinuxOntheDesktop</a> at last.For me it is, because MS has really demonstrated that while they can be better (look at the recovery after Vista), they can also be much worse (Vista, 8, 8.1).And Google can travel to a place that is about 8 light-minutes away. I hear it's very hot out all every season there.

Androcatlong rant about linux and proprietary OSes

ffffennekIn would REALLY like <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@pop_os_official" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@pop_os_official</a> to change that "Erase everything" in their installer. Or at least add "..on a drive of your choice" at the end.Because it led me to manual partitioning while being impatient. Which led to me deleting the MBR from a data dump disk, that then barely made it back to the land of the living thanks to "testdisk" magic. <a href="https://cyberplace.social/tags/YearOfLinuxOnTheDesktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#YearOfLinuxOnTheDesktop</a> <a href="https://cyberplace.social/tags/TryingToEscapeMicrosoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TryingToEscapeMicrosoft</a> <a href="https://cyberplace.social/tags/PopOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PopOS</a>

It's been a solid minute and I keep scrolling past this.
