2023 in review: The most remarkable events in the Open Source ecosystem that shaped the year. Let’s recall them!
As we bid farewell to 2023, it’s time to reflect on the dynamic and transformative journey of the open-source ecosystem over the past year. We’ve had quite a year with many notable events, so now it’s the perfect moment to share the highlights. So, grab a warm drink, cozy up by the Christmas tree, and let’s dive in.
Linux has a long history that dates back more than 30 years. Fortunately, according to StatCounter, in June 2023, Linux finally reached a 3% market share in the desktop segment. While some may see this figure as modest, it signifies a growing acceptance and recognition of the power and versatility of Linux.
From wherever one looks, the operating system is no longer what it was 20 years ago – a complex equation available only to highly technically enlightened hackers.
These days, with exceptionally easy-to-use and entirely user-centric desktop-focused distributions such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, Fedora, Manjaro, etc., Linux is poised to become an even more formidable player in the world of operating systems aimed at the everyday computing needs of the average desktop user.
So, who knows, we can finally live to see the year of “Linux on the desktop.”
