For me it must be kde plasma 6 and the wayland driver for wine.

Edit: I made the question gendered by using the word guys. I’ve fixed my mistake.

    Plasma 6, but just as excited for kernel 6.7 featuring:

    • bcachefs
    • AMD Seamless Boot (for flicker-free streamlined booting)
    • Scheduler improvements for better responsiveness/performance
    • IO_uring FUTEX support for better performance
    • More FUTEX2 work for potentially better gaming performance
    • Better write performance for eMMC chips (great for many IoT boards)
    • TCP network performance improvements
    • DisplayPort Alt Mode 2.1 support over Type-C

            BTRFS is honestly really great and has been for the last few years. Dont take the word of random people on the interwebs, check out some modern sources of info on the subject. Some people love to complain about RAID5/6 but if you use BTRFS the BTRFS way then it is solid.

            With that said, if you dont need snapshots, drive mirroring, sub volumes, bit rot protection etc then EXT4 is hard to beat for reliability.

        Initial benchmarks show better performance than btrfs (at least for some workloads), but more importanty, I like that it offers tiered/cache storage - so you can use a fast and small drive (NVMe) to speed up a slow and bigger drive (HDD). You can do that with ZFS as well of course, but it doesn’t have the massive RAM requirements. Also it’s much more easier to set up and configure in comparison.

    More Wayland adoption, more protocols and desktop portals, color management and HDR getting closer, even better gaming

    NVIDIA getting its shit together maybe?

    It’s amazing that Linux gaming is becoming a thing that’s better sometimes than Windows gaming (minus the getting banned part in some games). I also like that AMD is making some big pushes on open source drivers, plus their ROCm open-source alternative to CUDA.

    This is a great time for Linux users! :)

    Linux will eventually make it seriously to the desktop in the next few years, possibly going as high as 15%-20% of the userbase (in my country Greece it’s already at 9%). But only because MS is going to destroy its Windows base by making it subscription etc.

    Getting my Pinephone Pro up and running, and getting away from Google forever, finally. Also I’m gonna make the jump from Arch to either Gentoo and/or Guix, I think.

    Probably true convergence between mobile and desktop, where your linux phone is powerful enough to be your only computing device. You would only need something like a lapdock (basically a laptop without the guts) and instead of a cable connecting the two, a slot maybe somewhere within the keyboard that your phone slips into. Maybe this exists already, I don’t know.

      This is what I’m most excited about. I started using gnome mobile on my OnePlus 6. It’s still not there yet but it feels better than phosh, Few more bugs tho. I’m so excited for it and what you mentioned is the future I dream about.

    Moving beyond linux mint to other distros so I can learn more and have a more customizable linux experience.

    I got fed up with windows 10, and then windows 11 pushed me away from ever wanting to use windows again.
    Linux mint has been fun but its a bit too barebones when it comes to customization ( though that’s one of its strengths since its so easy and straightforward for a longtime windows user to move over to linux)

    Also I’ve had a bunch of trouble with Nvidia drivers and playing new games in 2023, so I’ll probably buy/build a new linux desktop in late 2024 on AMD CPU/GPU.

    Bcachefs, love COW files. I wish all file systems had it even if it naively copied the whole file on first write. Sort of a write safe hard link.

    Nothing. Which is great: everything already works for me. Any improvements and extra market share is cool. But I’m vibing already.

    I hope Valve will make the Index VR work again after breaking it with the 2.x updates in October :')
