I share his vision. For this exact same reason I get angry, when people start rambling about software engineers being needed no more. It’s exactly the same abstraction layer extension, as compilers were, albeit the one that grants even less control over execution flow.

vim, awesomewm, mbsync (isync),

As for recent discoveries: dwl — I was surprised on how robust it is, and how well it works.

I’ve been running ministral on CPU on a home-server: works pretty nicely, not very performant for everyday tasks and the savings were not sufficient for it to make sense. It still was cheaper and faster to just use Mistral API and get better models.

EpicGames, huh? I did not expect that!

IMO, the only way the switch will actually happen is not the RAM or GPU, but if more manufacturers will start selling new/refurbished devices with Linux on it. Reason being: most people treat computers exactly the same way as I treat my car. I won’t bother replacing firmware, engine, transmission, or even tires on my car if there is no good reason for it. Same goes for people: they won’t be replacing OS, CPU, RAM, disk, etc, except there will be a really good reason for it.

Though, one thing to be mentioned: I generally see the trend that Linux is becoming more popular as more and more popular people adopt it (and are vocal that they have better time with it than with the alternative): PewDiePie, Linus Sebastian, etc. I think the trend might potentially accelerate, as more and more people are really unhappy with how well Windows works these days, and not everyone is ready to buy Mac (though the most recent Neo release success is a great indicator of how bad situation on the market is overall)

I think every smart enough person all over the world have noticed, how fragile relying on oil is. Hence more and more electrification will occur, because it is much more safe resource to acquire these days :3

Good thing that cars industry is moving that way too, so I guess the world will become more and more SolarPunk-ish :D

I think this became as obvious only for the last few months, after another oil supply crisis emerged. I myself became much more “for” renewable energy sources, as it is much easier to see it on the price difference of petrol versus electricity :)
