They're coming every year, and yet here we are.

Don't be so bummed out sounding. I'm sure we'll solve it as soon as we get a good year of Linux on the desktop.

It's been a pretty good year so far, for me anyway. I'm hoping Android soon joins my pile of "never again" software.

Linux on the desktop is pretty good. YoLotD may have already happened, IMO.

Now that Steam, WINE, and Proton are working reasonably well on a couple of major Linux platforms (Fedora, Ubuntu, and the Arch folks), there really isn't anything my Linux desktop can't do; gaming was the only holdout and that's mostly solved.

Graphics drivers, like the open AMD drivers and Nvidia's binary blob, are decent too.
