     @itsfoss@mastodon.social I think it will receive more mainstream adoption and programs...

     @itsfoss There still is a chance that Linux becomes a leader for private cloud computing. It's a niche (compared to business solutions). The hurdle is that it will always cause costs for the cloud service even if the Linux distribution is free. But I believe in a couple of years we all will have our workspace somewhere in the cloud and no longer on physical devices at home. You can then access your workspace from any device including your phone. Fees will become a matter of course.

     It doesn't look good.

     Look at Wayland. It's been in development how long? And it's pretty much unusable on a regular desktop.

     Gnome? It used to be good, now it leaks memory everywhere, extensions can crash it easily and they're needed because for some reason they're trying to copy MacOS looks. Gnome 3 was the best and many changes after it are a regression.

     Then there's Rust ... there's so much hype around it and very few, if any finished products. And they want it for kernel dev...

     @itsfoss Linux is great for the people who can use it, but the way I see it is that Linux is like self driving cars. Self driving cars won’t be accepted if they are just as good as or better than people they need to be significantly better. In the same vein Linux is just on the back foot, it needs to be significantly better and have distros that are focused on being immutable and safe for totally tech illiterate people before we have the year of the Linux desktop.

     @itsfoss@mastodon.social ok well I updated my sources.list to look in sid and I got a new version of the wifi driver firmware-iwlwifi
     for all I know it might be fixed.
     but I'm also trying to install a newer kernel and having the issue that it's not showing up in my boot menu despite update-grub finding it.
     so I'm hacking around trying to fix that and also updating to kde plasma 6.

     @itsfoss@mastodon.social hey since we are concerned with Linux... I'm on a lenovo legion laptop and the wifi is always cutting out and I want to play on a minecraft server so I need to solve this.
     
     output of lspci -vnn -d ::0280:00:14.3 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Tiger Lake PCH CNVi WiFi [8086:43f0] (rev 11) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz [8086:0074] Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16, IOMMU group 10 Memory at 612e1bc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi Kernel modules: iwlwifi
     how would you go about trying to figure out why the wifi keeps turning off, (like it stops working but is still connected and an orange exclamation mark shows up at the wifi symbol in KDE) and how to fix it?
     
     I'm not an expert at this given that this is a laptop and I installed a ready made OS. Eventually I'm gonna switch to Arch or something like that and hope stuff like this stops happening and eventually hack around with my X99 workstation.
