I think it will but i recon it will take a while. Mint/vanilla os are pretty much ideal for the newbies. Ans steam os once it comes to desktop will be pretty good as well.

The only way we’ll know for sure if it’s the year of the linux desktop is when our deficient family and friends start asking us what sudo is.

So far . . it’s quiet.

I don’t think there is a world where Linux gains significant market share AND users care what sudo is. In order for Linux to be more mainstream, those kinds of details should not be the concern of laypeople. GUIs are what average people are able to stomach.

It’s an interesting thought. The idea of sudo is that people understand there are levels of permissions. That alone would be huge, and in 2025 that seems ridiculous.

2011 is my year of the Linux desktop then. Never stopped using Linux as my main OS since.

I’ve never known any of my immediate circle of friends and family to have any interest whatsoever. Windows 11 has been the nail in the coffin for one, the steam deck has piqued the interest of another. Year of the Linux desktop is a pipe dream but any step towards greater adoption is a great thing.

I watch a few SteamDeck you tubers and they all have switched to Linux. One is waiting for SteamOS to finally drop. Which I can understand, I mean, he is a normie gamer and isn’t really looking to get into computers, just wants to play games. He sees SteamOS as a silver bullet, since he is problem free on his Steam Deck. Which just reiterates, normies don’t care what OS they run, they just want to do the thing they care about.

I wouldn’t say it’s a pipe dream either. 20 years ago, if I switched someone to Linux, they would eventually have a problem and switch back. Not because Linux was bad or anything like that. Now, if I switch someone, they just keep going with Linux. The year of Linux Desktop already came. It doesn’t dominate yet, but there are few niches that Linux doesn’t support, mostly the audio/art niche.

  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
