i'll be honest, i hope we don't get the year of the linux desktop the same way we got decade of the *nix mobile/console, since it feels like they're often locked down super tight (and for mobile, even if you get past that, you have to get through what feels like a fair portion of apps deciding they don't want to run on your phone unless you want to play a cat-and-mouse game of hiding your root) to the point of where it might as well just be sparkling windows

if we're getting the year of the linux desktop, it's gotta come with the freedom that linux provides

I just feel like the only appropriate comment here is:

"Wait we're using Linux?!' "Always have been."

Massive air quotes on those consoles "running" FreeBSD when half of the syscalls have been changed or moved, and then basic functions like gmtime are missing. It is an absolute nightmare to deal with. "What basic POSIX functionality is broken or missing?" compile to find out, and hope your unit tests can catch it 😌

(libdispatch is still available, technically)

At least when I run FreeBSD under Windows via Hypervisor+PowerShell it does work, and if you had told me that would be a thing in the mid-00s I would have thought you were lying.
