bcachefs in mainline. It’s going to be fun.

Is it actually any good? I’ve seen some benchmarks that were not very promising but perhaps that’ll change in the future ig.

Moving beyond linux mint to other distros so I can learn more and have a more customizable linux experience.

I got fed up with windows 10, and then windows 11 pushed me away from ever wanting to use windows again.
Linux mint has been fun but its a bit too barebones when it comes to customization ( though that's one of its strengths since its so easy and straightforward for a longtime windows user to move over to linux)

Also I've had a bunch of trouble with Nvidia drivers and playing new games in 2023, so I'll probably buy/build a new linux desktop in late 2024 on AMD CPU/GPU.

azvasKvklenko,

More Wayland adoption, more protocols and desktop portals, color management and HDR getting closer, even better gaming

NVIDIA getting its shit together maybe?

That truly would be the year of the linux desktop

herrvogel,

I think the teams that are responsible for bringing proper HDR support are moving slow and waiting for HDR to get its shit together, as right now it’s a poorly standardized dumpster fire of various protocols and definitions and implementations. It’s still a bit of a pain in windows and macos despite the fact that official support exists already.

They just broke xwayland on my gpu so i’ve been forced to return to x11, bit of a backwards move

azvasKvklenko,

Gosh, NVIDIA literally pays just one guy to do the entire Linux support

milkjug,

At this stage I suspect its just 3 kids in a trenchcoat.

Given the recent pace of NVK development we probably won’t have to rely on that for much longer in 2024.

theshatterstone54,

Work in Cinnamon on Wayland, Plasma 6, XFCE 4.20 for Wayland support, WINE on Wayland, The Fancy Hyprland-like effects coming to Qtile Wayland, basically everything Wayland.

tiny_electron,

Ubuntu 24.04!

What are women most excited for?

odium,

Why are you bringing gender into something that doesn’t need any gendering?

acastcandream, (edited )

I mean in their defense…the title is gendered lol

Jokes aside they’re clearly poking fun at the title. Go read it out loud you probably missed the mistake.

Plasma 6 for sure. I’m a Gnome user waiting with bated breath to see if it actually delivers the goods.

Always hoping for Nvidia to stop being bullshit. Definitely not buying from them again.

const_void,

What Plasma 6 feature has you most excited?

Thwompthwomp,

Not OP, but I’m excited about the baked in tiling. Nervous about Wayland as I think I have some stuff that will break, but we’ll see.

None in particular. Just the totality of the changes. Many of them are small default changes or usability changes, but when taken together it sounds like a nice, somewhat overdue bundle.

juli,

You can test it today. The feature freeze has happened already, thus nothing will change until the release

GnuLinuxDude,
@GnuLinuxDude@lemmy.ml avatar

I don’t really know how to install something like a beta version of KDE, especially without messing up things on my own computer.

juli,

With an immutable system you can’t fuck things up. I guess you aren’t on one. In that case, use boxes and install it in a vm :)

It’s amazing that Linux gaming is becoming a thing that’s better sometimes than Windows gaming (minus the getting banned part in some games). I also like that AMD is making some big pushes on open source drivers, plus their ROCm open-source alternative to CUDA.

This is a great time for Linux users! :)

cybersandwich,

I just ROCm was built in to mesa. Because either you use the proprietary drivers that have some issues, or use mesa and fight with everything (amf, ROCm) to try and get it working.

I am waiting for Plasma 6 too. Maybe it will ship with Fedora 40 🤔

I hope so

And I am looking forward to Ubuntu server 24.04
