BSDs and GNU/Linux to Gain Next Year
As expected all along, the news is slowing down a bit because the US has Thanksgiving, a national holiday, so we shall go out later.
It seems like many people are downloading GNU/Linux, even community-run distros. More people will soon recognise that Windows isn't special and GNU/Linux is not "hard to use". That stigma is outdated FUD. Heck, even some BSDs are doable; they have modern Web browsers and an extensive suite of software, plus they can have a hypervisor or "jail" for some other operating system (shall that become necessary).
We very much look forward to 2026 when free/libre platforms can flourish. Expect many Microsoft layoffs in January. It has been like this every year in recent years. █
