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)

🚀 U.S. March CPI Expected to Rise Amid Ongoing Iran Conflict
The market widely anticipates that the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) for March will increase by 3.4%, surpassing last month's 2.4%, marking the largest year-on-year rise in two years. According to Jin10, during past oil market shocks, the most likely commodities to see price hikes include aviation fuel, steel, aluminum, natural gas, fertilizers, and plastics. Industries reliant on these materials are already feeling the strain. The ongoing Iran conflict, which has lasted several weeks, has shifted concerns from the initial oil price surge to the compounded effects of a prolonged conflict. For many economists, the most alarming aspect is not the immediate issues but the "aftershocks" that may emerge months or even years later. JPMorgan's CEO has referred to inflation as a potential "fly in the ointment" that could undermine stock market returns in 2026. Harvard University professor and former IMF chief economist Ken Rogoff recently discussed an overlooked impact of the war: the increased military spending's effect on the already strained U.S. budget deficit. He noted the risk of soaring bond yields, which could harm the stock market and affect U.S. affordability. Rogoff also mentioned that the current supply disruptions caused by the Iran conflict are sufficient to keep oil prices elevated for a year.
