I've never seen so many developers curious about leaving the Mac and giving Linux a go. Something has really changed in the last few years. Maybe Linux just got better? Maybe powerful mini PCs made it easier? Maybe Apple just fumbled their relationship with developers one too many times ? Maybe it's all of it. But whatever the reason, the vibe shift is noticeable.
我从来没有见过这么多开发人员对离开Mac并给Linux Go Go Go。在过去的几年中,事情确实发生了变化。也许Linux变得更好?也许强大的迷你PC使它变得更容易?也许苹果只是摸索了他们与开发人员的关系太多次了?也许就是这样。但是无论出于何种原因,氛围转移都是明显的。
This is why the future is so hard to predict! People have been joking about"The Year of Linux on the Desktop" since the late 90s. Just like self-driving cars were supposed to be a thing back in 2017. And now, in the year of our Lord 2025, it seems like we're getting both
这就是为什么未来很难预测的原因!自90年代后期以来,人们就一直在开玩笑说“台式机上的Linux年”。就像自动驾驶汽车应该在2017年成为一件事情。
You'll notice a trend here, which is that Arch Linux , a notoriously"difficult" distribution, is at the center of much of this new engagement. Despite the fact that it's been around since 2003! There's nothing new about Arch, but there's something new about the circles of people it's engaging.
您会注意到这里的趋势,即Arch Linux是一个臭名昭著的“困难”分布,是这次新参与的中心。尽管它自2003年以来就已经存在了!拱门没有什么新鲜事物,但是人们引人入胜的人圈子有一些新事物。
I've put Arch at the center of Omarchy too. Originally just because that was what Hyprland recommended. Then, after living with the wonders of 90,000+ packages on the community-driven AUR package repository , for its own sake. It's really good!
我也把拱门放在奥马尔的中心。最初只是因为这是新普兰德推荐的。然后,出于自己的缘故,在社区驱动的AUR软件包存储库中与90,000多个软件包的奇观生活在一起。真的很好!
But while Arch (and Hyprland) are having a moment amongst a new crowd, it's also"just" Linux at its core. And Linux really is the star of the show. The perfect, free, and open alternative that was just sitting around waiting for developers to finally have had enough of the commercial offerings from Apple and Microsoft.
但是,尽管Arch(和Hyprland)在新的人群中有片刻,但它的核心也“ Just” Linux。Linux确实是演出的明星。完美,免费和开放的替代方案只是坐在周围等待开发人员终于获得了苹果和微软的商业产品。
Now obviously there's a taste of"new vegan sees vegans everywhere" here. You start talking about Linux, and you'll hear from folks already in the community or those considering the move too. It's easy to confuse what you'd like to be true with what is actually true.
现在显然,这里有“新素食主义者看到素食主义者”的味道。您开始谈论Linux,您会听到社区中的人们或考虑此举的人们的来信。很容易将您想要的真实事物与实际真实的事物混淆。
And it's definitely true that Linux is still a niche operating system on the desktop. Even among developers. Apple and Microsoft sit on the lion's share of the market share. But the mind share? They've been losing that fast.
Linux仍然是桌面上的利基操作系统,这绝对是的确。甚至在开发人员中。苹果和微软位于市场份额中的股份。但是头脑分享?他们一直在失去那么快。
The window is open for a major shift to happen. First gradually, then suddenly. It feels like morning in Linux land!
窗口开放,以进行重大转变。首先逐渐,然后突然。感觉就像是在Linux土地上的早晨!
