Of the things you could want clarification on I don't know why people were asking me about the weeb game I held up, but regardless, it was Atelier Sophie 2

the year of the linux desktop was the "i tried linux" videos we made along the way

[sleepywitches]

"I'm switching to linux" video starter pack: nvidia drivers problems, multiple monitors problems, Photoshop mention, "my davinci resolve was working last night, idk what happened", unusual unknown bug that no one ever experienced.

The linux market share is actually rising pretty fast. Just a few years ago it was under 2% and now its already over 4%. Big thanks to valve for steamdeck, and microsoft for making a shitty os

[diegosilang]

Steam Deck is the best thing happened to Linux, exposing millions of people to Linux platform.

9:59 Someone brought this up in DankPods' comment section: A reason why some people may assume that anything slightly advanced *requires* a terminal is because a lot of guides will just say "copy paste this command" instead of "depending on your desktop environment, navigate to one of 10 different GUI settings apps, pick the right sequence of categories along the way and finally enable this setting".

windows is the best advertisement for linux

[Tauredian]

One thing I find interesting is it seems people are going into it trying to use linux long term, instead of being just a short term challenge. its a small but interesting difference.

[deadmagnet]

the future of linux looks bright, i cant wait for the year of the linux desktop (its next year)

[NovemberOrWhatever]

The LTT linux challenge really felt like it was "Is Linux a drop-in replacement for Windows?" to which the answer was pretty clearly "No". Whereas this round seems to be more "Can I make Linux work for me?" where the answer is usually "Basically yes, but it's more work than Windows"

[autohmae]

11:08 let's remember, on Windows this means: you need to mess around in the registry, which technically has a GUI tool, but well, it's at least as technical as a command line.

[exotericidymnic]

What "year of desktop linux" really means is that hardware support will no longer be an issue. You will no longer have to check whether you printer or webcam works with linux before buying it.

[deadfry]

i hope this becomes a semi annual thing so we can check on the state of linux for casual users every now and then

[happygofishing]

discord not supporting wayland unironically probably stops a lot of people from using linux, the day that they eventually update their electron version will be a great one.

[Robin_Goodfellow]

I think the most important thing Dank Pods said in his switching to Linux video was "there are problems, but I'm committed to learning Linux because I'm not going back." We're reaching a point where issues on Windows seem like the greater of two evils to average people.

[renealbrechtsen]

I've been using Linux permanently since around May and it has basically been flawless.

[RoyaltyInTraining.]

My experience with switching to Linux was unreasonably smooth because:
- I was already a huge CS nerd back then
- I had already switched to open source software on Windows
- I had all the time in the world to learn how things work
- I had an all-AMD system
- I got in right when Wayland and Pipewire support was starting to skyrocket
- I didn't need to worry about any important data on my drives which terminal mishaps might delete

[leonidas]

As someone who uses GIMP regularly, I'll admit that photoshop has a far more intuitive UI design. eg. Having to press enter to make a selection with no prompt to do so felt like I discovered a cheat code in a video game.

[alexanderdelguidice]

Quite a few "trying linux" videos I've seen have had people complaining about something and it turns out to just be a gnome problem. This is why I hate gnome, it's not a bad desktop, they just refuse to fix things which push people away from linux.

[blockshift]

It's a moral duty to either pirate Adobe or avoid it overall
