I think it could very well be.
Yea
It already is baby!
year of the linux handheld
>>4 android phones...
2023 is gonna be my 3rd year daily driving Linux Mint.
Yes! with gnome ubuntu it is possible.
Distro Hopped over to Fedora. I don't recommend for normies, but for the user that knows what they're doing, fedora is all you need.
I jerked off into a mug and drank it with a lemon.
This means I am stronger then you.
You wouldn't do such a thing. This is because you're a weak man.
A Strong man would drink lemon-cum.
I use ubuntu btw.
Yes im a faggy boi who fucks and sucks cock.
Yes I lost my dick in a gender dysphoria accident.
Yes I do indeed take in the ass.
You wouldn't admit or do such things because you're a weak man.
I am the strong man.
Tell me one good reason why normies would suddenly leave windows (os that teyve been using for decades) go to linux (os they know nothing about)
>>10
Microsoft has abandoned it and is trying to extract as much money as they can now. Meanwhile all the software is written for the web anyway. There's no reason to stay and every reason to leave.
Yes of course
nah
>>10
younger generation is more communist than in the past and linux/FOSS is communist.
However you should keep in mind many use linux and dont even know it... ie: Android.
I feel the next generation of normies will be more willing to adopt linux desktop operating systems as they maybe encouraged at a younger age to use them... I personally had to discover and put up with linux operating systems on my own... but my children will be growing up with linux operating systems, and I bet they would propagandize their peers to join the cult.
There will be no windows OS in my household. My wife uses a mac which is the only acceptable proprietary trash that will be allowed under my roof.
So maybe not quite 2023, but you'll see gradual increase in market share of the linux desktop over time.
maybe next year
imagine thinking the current year will be the current year.

Linux is not communist. Everybody is welcome to make money by selling Linux.

Unix is an archaic mess, unfit for use in the 21st century.
We must return to more elegant and civilized operating systems, such as CP/M and KERNAL.
>>19
How would you solve the problem of timesharing a computer system with multiple simultaneous humans operating their own terminal into the system?
X is the year of the Linux/Unix desktop.
They've been saying this since before Linux was even an idea. It turns out normal people actually hate having working computers.

People like working computers, it's just that they don't care to pay the cost of software development. Free software means users are free to change the software code and that process takes a lot of mind power. Most people are unwilling to pay that price to take free software and improve it to make it perfect for their situation.

MP/M is a thing.
no.

Communism is the Workers seizing the means of production
FOSS is software developers seizing the means of software development.
Without FOSS, most of the packages on your system would be license by a third party and usually at a price. This would mean you would have to pay for these licenses.
Without FOSS it's no different than requiring capital to run your business.
With FOSS you already have capital to run a software business since the software developers have seized the means to produce software.
btw I am not communist I see the universe as a balancing act...a little bit of communism is okay. and yes FOSS / Linux is purely post-capital communism. There is no state that regulates FOSS, the workers on the FOSS projects regulate FOSS projects. If capital takes over FOSS and over regulates them, then the project can be instantly seized by workers at anytime via a fork.
IMO in the future all software will trend towards FOSS. I bet a windows distro (windows desktop with non DCMA'd WINE and direct-x) is on the horizon because it would be the easiest way to implement a ARM or RISC-V operating system that is usable. I would pay for a Windows linux distro thats for sure and I know many others who would. However this would have more people get comfortable with linux and they may jump to a FOSS desktop and be more likely to adopt.
>>25
Did you miss the part where everybody is welcome to make money by selling Linux? Isn't the meaning of capitalism to be making sales and earning money? You're allowed to sell copies of Linux and earn some money doing that. This is why Linux isn't communism.
>>25
The workers not owning capital (the means of production) is the *communist critique* of capitalism (note that this doesn't hold up in many Western countries like the US.) Communism (global democracy or the dictatorship of the proletariat) is offered as a *solution* to this problem but owning the means of production isn't communist itself, otherwise the weaker form of capitalism in the US where workers can acquire capital would be considered communism.
>>14
Ah, here's your issue. You've confused Communism with Collectivism in general. Gen X got memed into "individualism at all cost" and people are recognizing how much of a failure that is. Some of the younger people are actually getting taken advantage of and listening to the communists but they're probably not the majority.
Linux is a kernel, how could you do a desktop with it? It's impossible.
There is no system but GNU, and Linux is one of its kernels.
GNU/Yes.
2024 is almost there so no
Just 2 more years...
Linux is a kernel, how could you do a desktop with it? It's impossible.
Linux should not merely be a kernel. It should become even more bloated by having its own userland and desktop environment.
people actually don't need anything but the command line and ssh
they should be socializing by remotely connecting to a friend's chroot where they can leave messages and chat
all data should be stored in environmental vars and calculations using BC
it's bizarre that PLATO and the BBS scene could do what "modern" ux says is necessary using hardware a fraction as powerful as the cheapest SBC
>>35
Socializing is as much about discovering new connections as interacting, and there definitely should be a more convenient way to do that than exchanging a triple of host address + username + {passphrase | public key}
36
there's absolutely no reason third parties couldn't create chroot cafes with keyless entry in the same way that cafes and bars allow general entry for socialization
the distinction here is that the bar and the cafe are *not* where people *live* but merely a stopping point for more intimate and more secure lives
social media's cardinal sin is that it makes people live together who should pass like ships in the night
normal people are not willing to put up with terminal shit, genuinely. they see something that looks like a movie and they freak out. even though a modern laptop could easily handle a text board with tens of thousands of users, it's gotta be shiny and shit otherwise they go back to their goyslop
feature, not a bug, will not fix
and also not true, all you need is a modicum of traction and trendlords will start pretending like they understand it and ruin it for the rest of us
and even further, even if it weren't a feature and wouldn't be ruined by illiterate anti intellectuals like everything else, you could trivially create a GUI that acts as porcelain for the entire process without anyone suspecting a thing
We don't need a year of the linux desktop. It doesn't matter who uses it as long as I can use it.
Maybe next year.
Maybe next year.
This year for sure! -2024
It was last year, everybody missed it
Yes I am going to buy a linux computer this year. Or early next year. For gaming
