Assuming you mean desktop Linux, probably slowly. While Linux on desktop is growing, Desktops PC use in general is trending downwards and Linux on mobile is far behind the other players.

My gut says that long before Linux overtakes Windows/Macintosh most people who want a mouse/keyboard/monitor experience will just plug their phone into a simple dock, like we’re seeing with Android’s “Desktop mode”.

“The guy”? What?

The social ecosystem around FOSS is so horribly toxic. There’s an “upper middle class” of power user that aren’t quite developers, that insult everyone with less experience, and openly harass the developers themselves. I honestly don’t know how FOSS can expand adoption as long as these people exist. They are a dual-edged sword that disincentivizes both new adoptees and long term app support.

Proton is arguably the best option if you’re trying not to rely on Google, and they are slowly building a suite of apps with the goal of directly competing with Google Drive, Calendar, Sheets, etc.

boooo

Is this the Google Keep replacement we’ve all been waiting for?

Finally, we’ve invented a machine that saves mankind from the drudgery of getting to know other people!

“I want a way to record the young ladies at the gym without Meta knowing about it”

I’ve also used duck.com’s free email masks with great success

Not quite what OP is talking about but useful in most cases

Yeah this is it. I like snaps just fine but I also like Flatpaks and well, everyone else is using Flatpaks.

A VPN actually hides your IP from the webpage.

Hah! I definitely didn’t mean any shade at Zorin! I used it for a while too. I ultimately moved to Fedora Kinoite and now Bazzite for the exact reasons you described, the immutability makes it even harder to break than Zorin.

It’s great we have so many good options these days.

On one hand I think that Linux would benefit from KDE being better than windows and GNOME being better than MacOS and that we shouldn’t get distracted by new shiny toys like Cinnamon and Cosmic.

…and yet on the other hand… they are pretty cool…

The job apocalypse is absolutely not something to forget.

Honestly wondering… why not? So far there is no evidence that an LLM can replace a worker of any kind, and all layoffs attributed to “AI” have not proven to be anything other than typical layoffs attributed to corporate greed.

Clever! The rare actually useful LLM!

Out of the box support it’s going to be Bazzite or CachyOS. Both great options but I lean Bazzite because of it’s immutability.

“The Jury voted against Jones, therefore it means he gets to keep InfoWars and also not pay them.” is wild.

That’s honestly beside the point. This case wasn’t about his “grift” it was about harassment of the Sandy Hook families, who have not seen a penny from Jones yet, despite winning the case two years ago. The judge tried to come up with convoluted logic to make sure Jones retains control of IW despite, again, losing the case the judge presided over. It’s insanity.

Rumble, where he’s still using the InfoWars branding:
