#2never heard of it, but interesting setup. FreeBSD user land with Linux and Gnome/Wayland.

#3Simplified desktop doesn’t very clearly map to “very text oriented, barebones Linux UI“.
I was expecting something more like the ststem76 Pop OS kinda thing when I read this.

Niri would be a simplified desktop to me

#5I hope Google will make Android more desktop friendly so it becomes the real alternative to the current status quo.

#6So simplified I couldn't figure out how to even login, let alone install it.
I think if they're aiming for simplicity, start with the installer. And no, "read the instructions" isn't making it simpler.

> Surely, 2025 will be the year of the Linux desktop!
I don't know if that joke was more funny in the late nineties when Linux was basically nowhere (I was already using Desktop Linux back then though) or if it's more funny today, when Linux powers the entire real world.
I mean: Linux powers 500 of the Top 500 supercomputers, billions (if not tens of billions) of devices, rockets (SpaceX uses Linux extensively), servers all around the world, routers in every single household or near that etc.
Basically: Linux powers everything besides the desktop.
Somehow I think there's some irony in thinking that joke is still funny in the same way it was funny in 1998 or so.

Simplicity in implementation is not necessarily the same as simplicity in usability. Both are desirable, but if there's a trade-off between the two, then I reckon it's quite justifiable to prioritise the former.
