I feel like the stars are all aligned for Linux-on-the-Desktop right now. - Windows 11 forced-AI integrations and telemetry. Many "old" devices are incompatible - Windows 10 is officially end-of-life - MacOS 26 looks and feels like a toy operating system. Performance issues and bugs continue to pile up and undo the incredible work that Apple hardware teams have done the past decade. - Omarchy Linux has some substantial hype in the developer world. - Valve continuing to make Linux a first-class OS for gaming and is pushing forward ease-of-use. - New hardware from Valve looks to be a great entryway into PC Gaming/Linux for outsiders. - Framework is becoming more mainstream and has great options at all price points.
