I've been hearing about how Linux is going to replace Windows for at least 2 decades now. I expect it to finally happen some time after we get 'too cheap to meter' fusion power.

>It’s more a case of Windows getting significantly worse
No disagreeing on that. I hate how intrusive it is. I feel that I am paying for something AND I am still the product.
Aside: "too cheap to meter" got killed by inexpensive metering more than anything else. Metering used to be expensive, but computers have made it trivial.
I really hope they are successful. But I'm not holding my breath.
Three states in Australia are implementing a requirement that energy companies offer free electricity for the three peak daylight hours of the day (likely 11am to 2pm) as of July next year.

I shitposted about the ‘year of the Linux desktop’ for most of my teenage and adult life only to dual boot Linux for a bit as an experiment a year or two ago and have ~never booted in to Windows for anything other than games with anticheat since.
It’s more a case of Windows getting significantly worse and feeling like malware than Linux desktop being THAT much better than the last time I tried it, but between proton and maybe 95%+ of my work being in a browser window or browser window (Electron) these days, I basically never run in to compatibility issues and never have Candy Crush advertised to me.
