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!
