I genuinely think last year was the "year of the Linux desktop" and will likely be looked at that way in the future. I know multiple people IRL who have moved to it not because they couldn't use 11 but because they were fed up with all of the nonsense from Microsoft.
Every year is the year of linux desktop :)
I'm one of them. I've dabbled before, but never stuck with it. Then I had a ton of issues with Windows 11, but the straw that broke the camel's back was seeing a Copilot button in fucking Notepad.
Now I'm on EndeavourOS, and it genuinely feels like a more user-friendly experience. So congrats, Microsoft. You're not even the "just works" option anymore.
