Every year is Linux on the desktop, just depends on which new flavour of Ubuntu or distro gets released and people go mad for, no?

To be honest, as a Linux user I am very excited for the future of the desktop with Snaps and flatpack gaining traction. I'm very much enjoying snaps and starting to use that more than my distros pkg manager where applicable. So, maybe _this_ year

Snaps: https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/snappy Flatpack: https://flatpak.org/ I use
@SolusProject, which I believe supports both but snaps seems to be taking the lead (developed and backed by Ubuntu)1 reply 1 retweet 1 like -

No worries. I'm already using Spotify, Phpstorm and VSCode as a snap

Not sure why you'd use VSCode in a snap, it's something I maintain in the repos and assuming there isn't a blocker from upstream, I update the release within the same day.

For instance, they released 1.20.0 3 hours ago and I'm already testing it locally before pushing.

It was more for messing around to see how well snaps worked. Just haven't got back to reverting to it back to eopkg
