2025 End of year personal computing check-in
I've written quite a bit over the past 11 months about flipping the table on my personal computing. All very unexpected but what a relief to have done it. And also very satisfying to know that my computing now fits my personal ethics in a way that it did not before.

People still call Linux “niche”, but the numbers say otherwise.
If you count Android (which runs the Linux kernel), Linux is the most dominant operating system on Earth.
• Android Linux runs on ~3.5 to 4 billion active devices
• Windows sits at ~1.4 to 1.6 billion
• iOS around ~1.3 to 1.5 billion
• macOS ~150 to 200 million
That is before counting servers, cloud infrastructure, supercomputers, routers, TVs, cars, and embedded systems where Linux already dominates.
Linux may not own the desktop, but it owns the internet, the cloud, mobile, and most of the devices quietly running the modern world.
Linux is not niche. Desktop Linux is niche. The kernel is everywhere.

Executorch: On-device AI across mobile, embedded and edge for PyTorch

The focus for us at @Vivaldi has always been to do what our users want us to do. So we have spent time on things like:
- Work spaces and tab stacks
- Tab tiling
- Mouse gestures
- Customizable keyboard shortcuts
- Tracker and ad blocker
- Panels and Web panels
- Cross platform, encrypted sync function
- Advanced bookmarking function with speed dials
- Customizable dashboard
- Massive customization options in general.
- Notes functionality
We have also added stuff like this in our desktop browser
- Mail client
. Calendar
- Feed reader
- Proton VPN integration
Not everyone uses everything we make, but that is also the point. The fact that we listen to special requests is IMHO a feature and not a bug. We value power users as well.
On the other hand, we have stayed away from certain things. Things like:
- Blockchain / Crypto currencies
- AI
You can find us on Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android and iOS. You can even find us in many cars running Android Automotive.
We are not the largest browser company in the world, but we are dedicated and we are growing. More and more are giving us a try. Have you?

Shout out to @juliagersey for being highlighted in People of ACM!!! 🎉🎉🎉 She is doing fascinating work at UM with environmental sensing and also is the Editor in Chief for ACM XRDS. I really like her idea of creating a maker section in XRDS and also her research on combining vision with sensing.
