I thought this was Hacker News! How come dumping Windows for Linux in the year 2026 makes the headlines?

Easy karma on HN. We have these posts every couple of days.

		Oh, damn! I bet 2027 will be the year when writing code by hand will be (re)discovered. Hopefully.

		Ah, so karma is a thing on HN as well. That would explain it. Since 2001 I've used Red Hat, Mandrake, Slackware, Ubuntu, and Mint. I got rid of them at the first available opportunity. Elon Musk himself couldn't pay me enough to switch to Linux.

For some reason, there's a huge amount of Hacker News readers who are still full-time Windows users. With the forced migration to Windows 11, I guess a lot of them are now not only trying out Linux for the first time (as a desktop system), but also for some reason going for Arch derivatives, which is always fun to see a beginner mess with LOL

Desktop Linux is still very niche, even in technical communities like HN.
