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
What about bcachefs excites you? Like, what does it offer that ext4, Btrfs and zfs don’t?
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.
It’s like btrfs, but faster, and less prone to data loss.
Btrfs is data loss prone? OpenSUSE Tumbleweed uses it as default, I assumed it was good enough.
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.
More Wayland adoption, more protocols and desktop portals, color management and HDR getting closer, even better gaming
NVIDIA getting its shit together maybe?
NVIDIA getting its shit together maybe?
Given the recent pace of NVK development we probably won’t have to rely on that for much longer in 2024.
SDDM Wayland Greeter, to have 100% wayland on KDE
I’m currently using greetd-tui but I would instantly switch over to sddm if the Wayland session actually works. (I use hyprland as my window manager )
Nothing. 6.6.6 was already released.
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! :)
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.
More NixOS!!!
Guix ftw!
Definitely more Guix, esp. as now Guix is available to NixOS
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.
2024 will be the year of the linux desktop
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.
native wine under wayland ! :D
Nothing. Which is great: everything already works for me. Any improvements and extra market share is cool. But I’m vibing already.
BSODs
That’s already here with systemd 255 which released recently.
That’s the joke
I hope Valve will make the Index VR work again after breaking it with the 2.x updates in October :')
Fully Mature Wayland implementation in Gnome.
It isnt?
It’s the year of the Linux desktop! /s
But seriously, I think I’m going to buy a SteamDeck.
