This year we made good progress. You know, Linux gaming becoming better, Reddit fucking up, Metaverse failing etc. But on the other hand Big Tech has or are planning to make some moves. Such as, Google's Web Enviroment Integrity API (EDIT: they backed off), UK's encryption bill, etc.

So what do you think of the future? I'm currently optimistic. I think the best recent event was Reddit fucking up. Obviously one of the biggest information sources going down that path isn't something to celebrate. But it was bound to happen. I believe decentralized social networks becoming more popular is what Aaron Swartz would have wanted if he saw how Reddit was being managed.

If you managed to make a Debian boot stick using just Debian's website and your Windows-user expertise, then you are not a zero. Take that as a compliment.

I don't remember if I was using Debian's site specifically, but there definitely are comprehensive guides.

Again, that is exactly my point. There are comprehensive guides is not the solution to getting normies to adopt FOSS.
