I think that happened a few years after Ubuntu came out

I wonder what will happen when those window machines go out of updates. The majority of people don't need window programs.

They probably will just continue using them and Microsoft will continue putting out patches once in a while

More devices need to come with Linux out of the box. It should be possible to buy a device with Linux at your local Walmart.

Gaming was absolutely the only reason I didn't switch permanently

Switched all my machines over to Linux within a month or so of getting my steam deck and see no reason to go back

Can't imagine I'm the only one who was waiting for this, though that said I am fairly technical, I don't think most non technical people will see enough of a reason to switch

Yes, linux is spreading under my coworkers, at least

no.
Next year will be the year when people say "this will be the year of the linux rennaisance"

That said I guess there is Da Vinci Resolve available.
When is Wayleonardo coming to debian as standard?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
