As the end of the year draws near, I thought it would be interesting to look at the current state of the #Linux desktop: 2023 has been very eventful, a lot of progress was made, but is the Linux desktop out of its « messy / transition phase » ?

We’ll look at standards and cohesiveness, display stuff, the Wayland transition, packaging and distribution, gaming, drivers, and a coming challenge:

@thelinuxEXP I'd say that the Linux desktop is probably the best desktop out there to-date given all of the telemetry spying going on in Windows, and the "no you can't do that but pay me tons of $$$" from Apple. The only problem with the Linux desktop is the myriad of choices (from a new user perspective). Just my $0.02. Love the content you produce.

@cslinuxboy Absolitely agree! The hundreds of choices can be boiled to maybe 10-15 competent and interesting ones, but that’s still way too much to have a coherent experience and solid app packaging / distribution!

@cslinuxboy @thelinuxEXP well with purism, starlabs, nitrokey, novacustom and others selling highend laptops with coreboot things are getting very easy for the end user. Even using arch has became boring with archinstall.

@grappa @thelinuxEXP And EndeavourOS is super easy to use now.
