        With Linux and other FOSS projects surging in popularity, I dare say we’re in for another.

        But, sadly, companies don’t seem too interested in making good software for that sake of it being good anymore. Now it’s all about getting you hooked on an eternal subscription.

          I certainly hope so. It’s been great seeing PopOS and Linux Mint pushing the bar on what a good linux desktop experience can be.

          I’d love to see Linux become a stronger competitor to macos (which is what I’ve used for almost 20 years).
