「 I want the Linux world to be just as fractured, opinionated, and argumentative as it is today. I want there to be a dozen different ways to do the same thing. In short, I want Linux to work for me and other technically-minded enthusiasts, as it currently does, and has for the last twenty-odd years. I don’t care who else uses Linux – frankly, I don’t care if nobody else does 」

Kevin Boone: Rant:
2026 will not be the ‘Year of Linux on the Desktop’ – and I’m glad

Why are we complaining about the smallness of the proportion of desktop computers that run Linux – perhaps we should be celebrating instead?

@jbz I also feel this way. I love that it's a place for misfits and luminaries to work without artificial boundaries put in place by marketing weasels and money ghouls. I think that is the most baffling thing to outsiders about Linux. It's not a product. You're not a customer. It's a wilderness full of powerful tech and you are only limited by yourself.
