I feel sad for all the youthful Linux nerd who were excited about the year of the Linux desktop who died of old age. They were only many years too soon.
Just like all the World of Warcraft killers failing to kill it, turns out the only thing that can kill it is WOW itself, and Windows is doing that just fine this time.

If you’re excited about the Linux desktop, you had no chance to be a teen tiktok star in any timeline.

Wait I have a Linux desktop
And play all my games in Linux
And my ex took the house
I guess I'm in this meme

You're born in the year of the Linux desktop?
Do you know how little that narrows in down?

I had a Linux desktop in 1999.
Wait until you hear about the year of the Solaris desktop. It’s happening.
