“Next year, 2023, will be my thirtieth year of Linux on the desktop, and the thirtieth year of being told it’s not possible to use Linux on the desktop, (…) Despite everything, it’s been fun. I’ve been lucky to have been able to take part of this journey.” My HS gaming days were capped off with me running my games under linux. This was 2000-2002. (Ultimately i went to college, attempted a double math/physics major, and had no time for gaming.) Don’t let others tell you what you can do or what will make you happy. For linux, definitely be a ray of inspiration for adoption by showing off your desktop and how easy it is achieve-advocacy. Or don’t, of course. Edit-I get the feeling linux/foss has made a huge difference to the developing or low income world getting online and even industry. That, to me, is at least as important than what Windows did for the desktop.
