2023, year of the linux desktop?
Sounds familiar.
I've been coding on Windows and I have to say that it has been a bit painful at times to code specific functionality cuz the libraries are either none existing or implanting using the API by hand is just a pain, while on Linux it is pretty straightforward.
Also, there are several things I've run into with Windows that makes me go o_O, or it is just clunky since my Linux setup doesn't have all the extra garbage. The bloat has gotten worse on Windows 11 and IDK how. It is so bad that the last OVA Vbox image I downloaded to run in a VM was unusable. It was by default configured to use 8 GB of ram, would crash. Barely run, and functions were either glitchy or just unusable.
I'm actually disappointed in the direction Microsoft has gone with Windows.
2023 may not be the year of the Linux desktop for many, but it will mark the year when I delete the last Windows box in my house. I've kept around a Windows 11 machine just for Steam, and Proton has gotten to where I finally feel comfortable jettisoning that last machine.
Is this article AI generated? 3 of the 9 points are literally the same point (Proton/Wine is getting better)
I think these kind of articles ("The [numer] best/reasons [topic/tool] of [year]") have been generated before this years AI boom too.
Just a few weeks ago someone posted a "9 best opensource email clients for linux" on reddit, where 5 of them were not open source, 2 were not available for linux and 3 were pure web based. Great.
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
