Linux in 2024 - Charting its Own Path to Innovation

Linux in 2024. The feet on backwards is a quote from a friend of mine on his opinion of Linux, lets find out what he meant, and is Linux really THAT kind of OS?

Oh don't worry I am not predicting this is the year of the Linux Desktop...This is my take on why I use Linux and some of the experiences I have had with other operating systems like MacOS and Windows. In fact my most recent experiences with Windows while working on getting a Linux distro up and running on very new hardware. Some of these tips I know will help you avoid issue and problems that make us lose our tempers and our hair at times. As you will see the problem isn't Linux, as Pogo said "We have met the enemy and they is US".

AI thumbnail is the image I think most of the world has of us, think glasses, a white shirt and high water bell bottoms.
