If you're just doing a standard desktop workflow then I don't really know how you beat Linux desktop. Fast, snappy, no bloat, no surveillance, no license, and no walled garden.

Just straight Debian with Cinnamon and you're set. The only techy thing you need to master is your package manager. My goto apps:

Vivaldi
Open Office
Audacity
VLC
Flameshot
Signal
Remmina

Windows 12 rumors point to deeper AI integration that could control services, updates, screen reading, and semantic search — impossible to fully disable. 🧩

This could be the tipping point pushing users to Linux, which offers no ads, no forced AI, no hardware demands, no tracking, and zero cost. 🛡️

#Desktop #Linux Kryptonite detected: None of the main Linux #PDF readers support the #MuPDF rendering engine. In 2026. C'mon. Get real. #SumatraPDF would be the answer, but the author declines to port it as it's too inherently tied to #Windows itself. KDE never incorporated the #Okular backend for #MuPDF and it's been forked on GitHub nearly 12 times. I tried #Sioyek but I found the UI was too minimalist. #EVince is still stuck using #Poppler. https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/

@mrmasterkeyboard I mean I can basically add anything to @OS1337 that isn't #CCSS or otherwise problematic or absurdly hard to integrate.

• I just want this to be a useable #TUI #Desktop distro with an 80×25 character MDA screen [yes, even modern SVGA cards still support that!] (80x24 useable; the 25th line is reserved for a status bar with like task/session switcher using i.e. #tmux [like DEC VT525])…

Just found out by accident #today that if I plug one screen in one computer with two cables on two different ports, I can have it set up twice with different outputs. That allows you to have two desktops to change between by changing the input of your screen 🤯

I haven't thought of a useful application for this yet, but then I don't use regular virtual desktops either. Even so, I think it's kinda cool

Robert Triggs / Android AuthorityWhile there are many great new features in the March Pixel Drop, I’ve been most excited about the new desktop interface. It’s super simple to get started with, transforming your Pixel phone into a PC interface...
