Idk one of my siblings who I never chalked up as a non-windows user and not particularly tech savvy sent me a screenshot of their linux install. If like the tech barriers to linux are falling then the only thing left to fall is software developers for commercial software.

Yes. 2026 was an interesting year for Linux desktop.

More of my friends installed Linux in response to Windows 11 than I imagined possible.

I think I noticed a correlation with their having a kid in the house who owned a SteamDeck. There's a generation who are learning Linux in order to mod their games.

Nah. Just an ordinary typo that anyone could make on their period authentic LTE smart phone or Casio smart watch.
