It's been about a month since I converted my old Laptop lying around, and my home Desktop to #Linux, specifically Arch Linux, and the experience has been good so far. Linux just breathes a whole new life into your old system.

For those who are wondering, if I'd spend 6 hours installing Arch Linux, I used archinstall script, which is available in the Arch Linux ISO, to setup my system in about 15 mins.

There are also projects like Calam-Arch-Installer which provides a GUI for Arch Linux Installation.

While I don't know that 2025 can be called as the Year of #Linux Desktop, I'm 100 percent sure, that Linux will go on to increase it's market share, from what we have today, primarily because of the direction in which @microsoft is going with @Windows10 .

I've gotta convert my main laptop to Arch #Linux as well, but need Windows for academic purposes, so that plan will stay on hold for now, and I will still be on @Windows10 11🥲.

@AnonBD @microsoft @Windows10 Thanks for your wishes.

Maybe when I'm done with my academics, I plan to switch my main laptop to Arch Linux.

By that time, Linux should really be a good alternative, with tonnes of software options, than it has now.

Year of the Linux Desktop awaits😁
