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.
