    I saw a lot more “I’m converting immediately” posts after win 8 tbh, and I wasn’t even on Lemmy surrounded by the most hardcore Linux devotees this side of slashdot. 2012 wasn’t the year of the Linux desktop and 2025 won’t be either. There won’t be a year of the Linux desktop until OEMs start shipping it by default on new hardware.
