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:

An honest look at the state of the Linux desktop going into 2024

@thelinuxEXP Haven't watched yet, but I've loved 2023 as someone who follows cutting edge Linux developments! Using uBlue has made my immutable desktop experience so convenient. Just log on, use whatever apps, it updates itself, log off.

I'm also really happy to see steady progress on #LinuxMobile with @postmarketOS (you should revisit this topic in a video sometime!), and with the adaptive libadwaita library by @gnome (love GNOME so much). 

@memoryfile @postmarketOS @gnome I absolutely should look back into mobile Linux!
@thelinuxEXP @memoryfile @gnome well, mobile Linux's state and overall device support is not quite good shall i say. only a few devices support @postmarketOS, for example. but it has a bright future.
@nitrogenez @gnome @postmarketOS @thelinuxEXP Yea probably not too too different from when he last took a look at it, but I have faith in all the things GNOME is doing to make their desktop and apps adaptive + @postmarketOS's steady work on device support
