UPDATE: I will stop using Linux / PC for 10 months. What do you think will happen in that period?
Long story short, I made a post in '23 August about my predictions for linux in the next 10 months. It has been more than 10 months I am here.
Old post here: https://lemmy.world/post/3322139
Here were my predictions:
Pop OS 24.04 will be awesome and be the go-to recommendation when it is released
SteamOS for PCs will not be released yet
Linux market share will be around %2-2.5 in Steam hardware survey
Plasma 6 will be released around January and will be a bit buggy, but most rough edges will be smoothed by the next release in 3-4 months
NVK will have performance parity with official drivers in certain configurations
Wayland will gain wider adoption, even on Nvidia
There will be little to no progress in compatibility with current anti-cheat blocked games
(bonus, not related to Linux) Web environment integrity will be adopted only in education industry because it is dominated by Chromebooks at least in US.
And the results:
Pop OS 24.04 is still not here and even if it was I wouldn't recommend it to anyone yet because their custom DE is still cooking. (incorrect)
SteamOS is not released. (Correct)
Linux is exactly at %2 on Steam survey right now and was even higher before (Correct)
Plasma 6 is in a good shape (correct)
I haven't followed NVK development closely but afaik it doesn't offer performance parity at the moment. (incorrect)
2024 has been a good year for Nvidia + Wayland :) (correct)
Ah, the anti cheats... <insert it's evolving but backwards meme here> (correct)
Web Environment Integrity is dead (incorrect) source: wikipedia
So I got 5/8.
Before you ask, no, the "decommision my PC" part didn't work out. That endeavour lasted only 1 and a half month. But I managed to isolate myself from Linux news.
