2023 will be the year of the linux desktopYou know, the Steamdeck’s success might actually make that some kind of true
@troyunrau i think the greatest thing to come from the steam deck is that people are slowly realizing that the aura of elitism thats infected the linux community for so many years is thankfully dying
@troyunrau You mean the Chromebook.
No. A browser is not a desktop. ;)
One could argue android is a Linux desktop environment too.
Which doesn’t expose much of a Linux userspace unless the user enables developer mode
@Natanael Like how other distro’s require Sudo.
No, not like that.

This is a triumph. I’m making a note here, huge success. It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction.
Yep, the 2000s are the next decade to come back, and I’m here for it.

My favorite open source story:
I was at the #Educause Annual Conference back in the early 2010s running SLED11 with the cube enabled. I was spinning away when the person next to me asked what it was and what OS I was running. I replied, “Linux” he said, “oh, that’s for you technical types.”
Later, same scenario (different person), but when I replied, “this is is Windows Longhorn, the pre-release of Vista,” the person was so impressed with Microsoft’s innovation.
Fuck it I want the cube.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social so does this mean I can finally stop complaining online that “Wayland isn’t ready” because the “mission critical software I use everyday doesn’t work” or am I missing something?
@kde@lemmy.kde.social @kde@floss.social the world is healing
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Compiz was like giving your computer LSD
Beside the Cube, the Wobbly Windows was my fav feature. It’s frivolous, but also so natural to grab a titlebar and having the rest of the window sloshing around like a wet rag.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Cool thing: now you can configure zoom and set your own skybox for the cube effect.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Oh yeah, another cool thing worth noting: the original cube in QtWidgets had about 4500 lines of code, this new one in QML has about 1000.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Dreams do come true 🥹

I still play Nexuiz, so, I’m cool thinking it’s 2006 for a minute.
Doesn’t a cube have 6 sides? /s
The cube is on all our sides
