This, but desktop linux users are on the step for 193rd place while excitedly screaming and holding a third-place sign. Steamdeck users are on the 3rd-place step while calmly playing their deck.

I'm in this comment, and I'm okay with that.

It's the year of the Linux desktop, y'all! Woohooohooo! Yeah! Rock on!

[-] scutiger@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Fuck yeah! Just like last year!

It’s the year of the Linux ~~desktop~~, handheld y’all! Woohooohooo! Yeah! Rock on!

Wait, I think that already happened with Android.

It's the Year of the Linux Handheld squared, then. We win twice.

Fwiw I'm in it too. I'm not going to say what year was the year of Linux on the desktop for me, but it wasn't a meme yet. And I've continuously run an actively used Linux desktop (or mostly laptop) since, often at work but always at home. I unironically prefer it to Windows and Mac, which I also also daily drive and consider to be worse in most ways that matter to me.

I think desktop Linux gamers are right to cheer for the Steamdeck, as its success translates quite directly to an improved gaming experience on desktop Linux. So yeah, the reason this meme is so clear to me is because I see it in the mirror each morning.

For personal use, I run a Linux PC, but for work I have to use Windows as my daily driver, and I still absolutely cannot stand Windows. Recently, I've had more issues with Windows installations than Linux ones. Which is ironic, considering everyone is always shitting on Linux for not offering the same out-of-the-box usability Windows does.

My God instaling Windows is the most horrific thing that exist. There are arch installers that are more user Friendly. The only reason pepole dont complain about it is beacuse Windows comes preinstaled on everything.

Also weirdly enough i had more problem with my nvidia gpu on windows rather than Linux (where the sensible distributions come with drivers preinstaled)

I use Windows, MacOS, and Linux everyday but my primary desktop has been Linux since I moved from OS/2 in I think 1996 or so. I have been a Linux user since 1992.

I have not really been a gamer since the StarCraft days though.

... since I moved from OS/2 in I think 1996 or so.

Quitters never win. Warp is the OS of the future, we just haven't gotten there yet.

It wasn't a meme yet? So like... 30+ years ago?

[-] PriorProject@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It wasn't a meme yet? So like... 30+ years ago?

  1. The phrase hadn't been coined yet in 1993.
  2. I said what I said.
[-] CapraObscura@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

So like 30+ years ago.

[-] Cabrio@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Look out, we've got a 3%er here.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

Not really, it’s closer to 50/50

[-] PriorProject@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I stand by the meme even if I can't stand by the statistics in it.
