So will this be the year of the Linux desktop?

Every year is the year of Linux desktop :P

Desktop Linux is:

* Easy (and gratis) to obtain

* Easy to install, these days, on most machines

* Behaves nicely out of the box - usually, with most popular distributions

* Has good software catering to most user's daily needs, and is well-internationalized and well-localized for the most part.

* Looks nice :-)

So, yes, I'd say that these days, every year is the year of the Linux Desktop.

Wishing us all a less-sad year from here in occupied Palestine. I'm not in Gaza, I'm in the Israeli part, where the police prevents demonstrations against the war, social media posts lead to arrests and prosecutions, and people are awash with bloodlust and pain. 2024 is not going to be a good year, but we can at least hope less people will be killed this year and we don't experience the completion of an ethnic cleansing.

Time to ship 2024 to production. Happy new year, fellow hackers. May your code always work on the first try and never regress.

It's not a great idea pudding to production at this time of year! Particularly when there are no requirements, unit tests or functional tests available!?! It's /dev/urandom all around

Happy new Year from Germany, we are not quite there yet, but in the other years it always worked and so I am confident we will make it this year as well. Time for one more Dinner For One ;-)

I hope you enjoyed your dinner! I'm currently in bed, sick as hell while family and friend are having fun downstairs. I guess it's my illness quota for the year :)

Happy new year !
