I don’t think we’ll see a “year of Linux” per say, I think we’re not likely to see either a decade or generational shift to Linux.

I’ve been using Windows and Android all my life, so it’s what I got used to. I’m in my 30’s now and over the last year or so I’ve slowly been introducing myself to Mint Linux on my laptop for basic web browsing and Ubuntu Linux 24.04 on my home server for hosting my own data. In some ways it’s actually a lot easier than I thought it would be, but I’m still learning a new language.

On the one hand I considered myself pretty technically savvy, until I dove head first into Linux and quickly discovered how much I really didn’t know. On the other hand, I am learning as I go given enough repetition.

That’s all most of us noobs ever actually ask for, and it’s usually after we’ve gone through all the troubleshooting steps we know to do.

Exactly!

😆

That’s a fair point.
