    The only way we’ll know for sure if it’s the year of the linux desktop is when our deficient family and friends start asking us what sudo is.

    So far . . it’s quiet.

      I don’t think there is a world where Linux gains significant market share AND users care what sudo is. In order for Linux to be more mainstream, those kinds of details should not be the concern of laypeople. GUIs are what average people are able to stomach.

        It’s an interesting thought. The idea of sudo is that people understand there are levels of permissions. That alone would be huge, and in 2025 that seems ridiculous.
