    Hot take (?): For anyone who has made the switch, it was the year or the Linux desktop. 🤷‍♂️

      2017 for me!

      (I had been using Linux on some systems since 2002 and first tried it in the late '90s, but 2017 was the year in which I ditched Windows even on my gaming machine, permanently.)

        I’m assuming you mean gaming? Yeah, I rarely boot into Windows these days, honestly.

        Whatever it is though, it’s always a compromise. There are things with Windows we can’t get on Linux still, and there have been things with Linux which Windows still hasn’t provided, for decades. Either way you go is a trade-off. But when I installed Linux and started using it more than Windows, I consider that my year or the Linux desktop. When the only thing I booted Windows for was to launch Steam.

    I’ve had this in my .zshrc for a while: alias $(date +%Y)="echo 'YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP'"

    If you type the current year in your terminal, it will say “YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP” lol
