Mereo@lemmy.cato Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux has over 6% of the desktop market? Yes, you read that right - here's how4·24 天前All it takes is momentum. It’s a chicken-and-egg problem, and I think it’s gaining momentum because of Valve. Gaming was always the one thing stopping people from checking out Linux.
Now, however, more and more people are trying it out. More tech YouTubers are trying Linux, which means more exposure. Distros are becoming more refined. KDE is much better than it used to be because of Valve. All in all, there’s true momentum building.
In due time, Linux will be preinstalled on computers and laptops, and because of this, more people will contribute to Linux. People are fed up with the bloat and heavy AI push of Windows 11.

Daniel, the owner of a trucking company based in Alberta, Canada, who asked to only use his first name for privacy reasons, tells WIRED that two of his company’s trucks were turned away at the US border in New York and Montana today because they contained packages originally from China. After speaking with a US Customs and Border Protection agent in Montana, the company was able to get a third truck into Washington state by removing all packages from China, Daniel says.

Mereo@lemmy.cato Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•SteamOS expands beyond Steam Deck (upcoming SteamOS beta for other handhelds)2·7 个月前The existing guides have not yet caught up with the paradigm shift of atomic distros.
When I say it’s newbie friendly, it’s because the base system is read-only (only /etc and /var are writable), and updates are only applied if all transactions are successful.
This paradigm shift requires people to install flatpak applications and command-line applications in distrobox containers.
