This year we made good progress. You know, Linux gaming becoming better, Reddit fucking up, Metaverse failing etc. But on the other hand Big Tech has or are planning to make some moves. Such as, Google's Web Enviroment Integrity API (EDIT: they backed off), UK's encryption bill, etc.

So what do you think of the future? I'm currently optimistic. I think the best recent event was Reddit fucking up. Obviously one of the biggest information sources going down that path isn't something to celebrate. But it was bound to happen. I believe decentralized social networks becoming more popular is what Aaron Swartz would have wanted if he saw how Reddit was being managed.

I recommend Nobara - it's based ont he rock-solid stable Fedora, with extra tweaks to make gaming easier.

I ended up installing Nobara on one of my drives. I was going to try Garuda but Fedora seemed liked it'd be less hassle dual booting so here we are! Thanks for the rec, you and everyone else!

I've been self hosting on a pi so felt like a good time to get back into a Linux desktop environment.
