А что происходит на противоположном фронте?
Вы, вероятно, слышали, что 2026 год называют годом Linux на десктопе (в каких-то узких кругах - годом гейминга на Linux). Всё потому, что экосистема Linux постепенно становится более дружелюбной для обычных десктоп-юзеров (в том числе привыкших к Windows), и не только!
▫️ всё чаще появляются Linux дистрибутивы визуально похожиена Windows (или даже лучше), и множество видео с советами какой дистрибутив попробовать новичкам.
▫️ обновления ядра и любых пакетов в экосистеме Linux всегда привносят оптимизацию и удобство и поддержку свежего железа (привет винде с её обратной тенденцией). Например грядущая версия 7.0, опять с множеством приятных мелочей.
▫️ после 10 лет с последего релиза версии 5 окружение KDE Plasma получила мажорный апдейт версии 6 и активно развивается (уже доросла до 6.5). GNOME тоже не спит и готовит версию 50.
▫️ в Wine добавили патч позволяющий устанавливать продукты Adobe на Linux. Для кого-то это был последний рубеж?😏
▫️ Proton активно развивается, да так, что через эту прослойку игры работают даже быстрей чем нативно на винде.
▫️ с каждым релизом Wine и Proton поддерживается всё больше игр, что можно отслеживать на ProtonDB, и даже случаются бусты производительности.
▫️ Я сам на днях на виндобук поставил ChacyOS после чего игры, которые тянули гдето в 5-10 FPS, стали играбельными! Подтверждено личным опытом! Кстати, есть несколько дистрибутивов заточенные именно под игры.
▫️ Valve выпускают новую пачку железок которые (предположительно) порвут рынок гейминга (как и в прошлый раз) и (определнно точно) работают на Linux. Именно Valve вливает ресурсы в Linux в целом и в Proton в частности.
▫️ Госсектор разных стран давно уже мигрирует на opensource, так как нет доверия системе которая может одномоментно неконтролируемо массово рухнуть или быть удаленно заблокированной (в том числе по политическим причинам).
И ниже небольшой опрос - какая у вас операционка основная?
Ни к чему не призываю, ничего не советую! Просто подмечаю тенденцию и хочется узнать мнения из первых рук 😉
Знаю, что Linux тоже не идеален, знаю что каждой задаче - свой инструмент. Но это не тема поста, так что можно без холиваров)

🌍 The leafcutter ant farms fungi deep in the soil of tropical rainforests. These tiny farmers cut leaves not to eat them, but to feed their underground fungus crops—a complex partnership unique to the tropics. ✨

🌎 The stone forests of Madagascar, called "Tsingy," are sharp limestone formations that rise in spiky towers. Over millions of years, rainwater carved deep grooves and canyons, creating a maze where unique plants and animals thrive, safe from larger predators unable to cross the jagged landscape. ✨

🌎 Flamingos in East Africa sometimes gather in flocks of over a million birds, creating vast pink “seas” along salt lakes. These crowds help them spot predators more easily and find safer nesting grounds together. ✨

Grassy Ridge Bald, one of the highest grassy balds in the Appalachian Mountains, at Roan Mountain on the N.C.-Tennessee state line.
Balds are home to a variety of what Weigl calls “rare, endemic, relict and disjunct plant species.” These species are light-dependent and cannot exist in forested habitats, and they must have existed over large enough distances and periods of time to speciate. Balds that have grown over have a significant decrease in vertebrate diversity, as well.
There are other places with similar stories. The polonina in Poland are one such habitat that Weigl has studied. They also support rare plants and have large herbivores including European bison, red deer, wild horses, and wild cattle. In addition to fossil data, there is a record of megafauna left by drawings on the walls of caves in that region. There are also grass balds in the Oregon coast with a similar history and rare species.
Whatever their origin, the unmanaged balds are disappearing.

The summit of Gregory Bald (el. 4,949 ft/1,508 m) in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina.
The character and distribution of Appalachian balds remained stable from the time the first naturalists explored the region, until forestry regulations no longer permitted annual pasturing of local cattle. While there is some evidence that grassy balds have natural origins, the forest quickly started to reclaim the balds once large-scale livestock grazing was eliminated by the creation of national parks and national forests, with some such as Gregory Bald being maintained by the National Park Service.
While it seems that the balds are maintained by the feeding activities of herbivores, another theory is that the balds are isolated artifacts, not natural landscapes, and a result of Native American activities or the European settlers’ agricultural practices. In other words, that the land is maintained by humans herding herbivores up there.

TON is an up-and-coming powerhouse that we're absolutely stoked about⚡
In this video, TON's Head of Incubation, Justin Hyun, shares some exciting insights about Ton Foundation and its role in the #ecosystem.
While TON is younger than other significant Layer 1 blockchains, its rapid #growth and evolution has led it to become one of the hottest projects in the #crypto market in the last month, and it appears that next year will be exciting for TON.
In terms of transaction speed and versatility, TON Foundation remains ahead of other Layer 1 blockchains. In addition to a quick block validation time, the blockchain provides several advanced scalability features, such as sharding support.
Needless to say, we are a fan of this amazing #work and we can't wait to see the innovations that TON is going to bring to this space in the coming years.
We're a proud sponsor of the first Flow Hackathon – a global competition from 2/21–2/26 to push the limits of #web3#onFlow.
