Long story short, I made a post in '23 August about my predictions for linux in the next 10 months. It has been more than 10 months I am here. Old post here: https://lemmy.world/post/3322139
Here were my predictions:
- Pop OS 24.04 will be awesome and be the go-to recommendation when it is released
- SteamOS for PCs will not be released yet
- Linux market share will be around %2-2.5 in Steam hardware survey
- Plasma 6 will be released around January and will be a bit buggy, but most rough edges will be smoothed by the next release in 3-4 months
- NVK will have performance parity with official drivers in certain configurations
- Wayland will gain wider adoption, even on Nvidia
- There will be little to no progress in compatibility with current anti-cheat blocked games
- (bonus, not related to Linux) Web environment integrity will be adopted only in education industry because it is dominated by Chromebooks at least in US.
And the results:
- Pop OS 24.04 is still not here and even if it was I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone yet because their custom DE is still cooking. (incorrect)
- SteamOS is not released. (Correct)
- Linux is exactly at %2 on Steam survey right now and was even higher before (Correct)
- Plasma 6 is in a good shape (correct)
- I haven’t followed NVK development closely but afaik it doesn’t offer performance parity at the moment. (incorrect)
- 2024 has been a good year for Nvidia + Wayland :) (correct)
- Ah, the anti cheats… <insert it’s evolving but backwards meme here> (correct)
- Web Environment Integrity is dead (incorrect) source: wikipedia
So I got 5/8. Before you ask, no, the “decommision my PC” part didn’t work out. That endeavour lasted only 1 and a half month. But I managed to isolate myself from Linux news.
The anticheat thing is a pain
Anti-cheat “compatibility” means allowing software kernel level access and after Crowd strike I think that tide will be turning even on Windows.
Anti-cheat will change. Not Linux IMHO.
May I ask why you want to do that?
Its in the original post. To create a distraction less or more less environment to prepare for exams.
Trying to avoid using my PC at all costs was a bad idea, I changed my mind because I had to print stuff😅
I print from my phone just fine
I tried that, printing worked like %20 of the time.
I mean, you can always limit the use of using the computer instead if full out not using it for a certain time frame.
i’ve to stopped ingesting information about the linux ecosystem, experience, status; but i accidentally did it for about 5 years and lemmy is showing me how much i’ve disconnected myself; it seems like we’re both coming back.
