Ah, yes, the mythical "Year of the Linux Desktop"—that elusive utopia Linux enthusiasts have been chasing since it's creation. Newsflash: nobody cares. The year of the Linux desktop isn't some grand global awakening; it's just whenever you decide to stop whining about it and install the thing. For me, it was 2002, and guess what? My computer didn't care either. It just worked. So stop waiting for some cosmic alignment of market share and app support. The year of the Linux desktop is when you make it. Now go forth and sudo (or doas) your destiny....
When I switched from Windows to Linux back in 2002, I never looked back. I missed absolutely nothing. Linux offered everything I needed and more, with unmatched freedom and flexibility. In late 2008, I bought a unibody MacBook, and while macOS wasn’t bad per se, it just didn’t feel like home. I missed Linux too much, so I wiped the MacBook and installed Debian. From that moment on, I’ve never switched again—Linux has always been home. I'm currently rocking Arch (btw) on my main desktop & Debian on my laptop....
My motherboard is a stock dell from around 2012 so I doubt performance would be at all good. Thats even if it worked in the first place....
GPU passthrough has always been one of those exciting ideas I’d love to dive into one day. My current GPU being a little older, has only 4GB of RAM. Oh the joy's of being a budget PC user. Thankfully it's more of a "would be nice rather" than an "actually need"....
While I appreciate the utility of snaps and flatpaks for providing sandboxed, cross-platform apps, I've often found them slower than traditional packages. Their tendency to take up more disk space also feels inefficient, especially when system resources are sometimes precious. For these reasons, I generally prefer using apps installed directly through the system's default package manager, which tend to offer better performance and use space more efficiently....
Loving that nvim config.. Using a similar one myself....
The day I can no longer download videos from YouTube will be the day I take a step back from it altogether....
Seeing posts like this inspires me to consider getting an older device and diving into projects like this myself. It’s amazing to think about all the possibilities and what could be created!! Thanks for sharing this post ^~^° ....
I really want to love Elementary OS, however, its foundation on Ubuntu has me hesitating, as I'm not the biggest fan of Ubuntu lately. If it were built on something like Debian or Fedora, I’d definitely be more inclined to give it a serious try....
Aha yea it could very well be that guy....
I always check stuff like this with new appliances, but I guess there's some people who don't....
I asked for a DARK coffee, not a Depressed one 🫥.
You just ordered a depresso.
I've created a minimal fetch script on my Arch Linux system. It's written in bash and has been successfully tested on Arch, Debian & Fedora. It works out of the box on Arch, but you do need to change the package count command to adapt it to work with different package managers other than pacman. Also make sure that you have lsb-release installed.

There was a theme just like this released many years ago on deviantart. Used it for a while back whenever I used window decorations....
