I know it's a running joke at this point, but given all that's happening, 2026 is absolutely the year of Linux, for the first time.

The endorsements by the popular YT people, the Steam gaming, the Windows constantly getting bad rep and the LLMs making it easy to fix things that actually make Linux finally a really good option for a wider audience.

Well, that’s a day 1 purchase for me. And I’d rather pay a company that’s built around their product than switching my workflow to the vibe coded Photoshop alternative that’s got all the hype these days.
