2025 might finally be the year of linux

The year of the Linux desktop is right now, if you want it to be. For me it was 2007 - and watching the evolution of Windows since then has been a continuous validation of my choice.

If you want to use Linux, use it! It's ready, and IMO has been for some time.

(And just to be clear - choosing otherwise is OK too! I don't intend my enthusiasm as zealotry. Folks making an educated decision to stay is totally valid.)

Greg K-H is the presumed successor and there's no reason to think he wouldn't do the same.

IIRC Compiz was a fork of Beryl or the other way around. I could be wrong though.

Last I checked you can still do the cube in kwin under plasma.

That looks to be a sausage, egg, and cheese Croissan'wich they are advertising for 99 cents, and another concrete example of the massive corporate greed of today:

(Or are we all making 4x today what we were in 2001 for the same jobs? That's a rhetorical question, we are not.)

Edit: 1 dollar from 2001 is 1.78 today. https://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/2001?amount=1

I just want to point out that Lin-Manuel Miranda has been advocating for peace between the hard and soft G clans for more than a decade.

I’m gonna stop you there, because I’ve been using the format for about 30 years, and people only started using the new pronunciation in the last 10-15.

I've been using the word since the mid 90s and it's always been hard G for me.

I don't say that to suggest that you or anyone else are wrong to say it with a soft G (although my brain cringes each time I hear it), but since I don't think I invented the hard G pronunciation I think claiming it's a recent thing is a fallacious argument against the hard G.

My headcanon is now that Hinckley is a kbin or lemmy user with a time machine.

Well, thinking about loading many christmas trees into and out of suv's and station wagons over the years, I can tell you that it's going to be a lot better in one direction than the other.

be_excellent_to_each_other, to linux in A response to the "Boycott Wayland" article
@be_excellent_to_each_other@kbin.social avatar

The problem, as I see it, is that the author of the original Gist does not really want wayland replacements for what he has, but rather what he has to also work on wayland.

It's like the Windows users expecting to use all the same software on Linux when they move over problem, but in microcosm.

IIRC they refined the Breeze icons over a LONG period of time to get them to the current state - I'm sure the same will be true here.

@be_excellent_to_each_other@kbin.social avatar

This may be overly cynical, but the same company owns Reddit and Ars Technica.

Articles which would make one tend to expect failure of the Reddit migration are aligned with the interests of that company. This may not be related, but it hard not to notice.
