To me, the year's in the past. I haven't touched Windows since 2017, and nothing bad happened to me.

But you're right, I guess for some people, there will already be a good reason not to use Linux.

What do you call a fallacy where it is implied that the future will be like the past?

Reminds me about schools of thought on rates of change:

linear % change implies exponential change in absolute terms

Maybe similar to boy who cried wolf?

"The future aint what it used to be."

I did the switch in 2013 and haven't missed it. For games I ran vga_passthrough and later VFIO and others until pretty recently (I think right after covid I switched to steam directly on linux)

The year of the Linux Desktop will be powered by fusion.
