    Probably a number of factors. Some I can think of that may have contributed:

    • Steam Deck showing that gaming is possible on Linux.
    • Windows 11’s hardware requirements pushing people to try Linux on older hardware.
    • Microsoft’s recent enshittification of Windows by pushing Edge and AI so hard.
    • KDE has been pushing to fix bugs and has gotten really good lately.
    • Electron has made a lot of apps people really need super easy to build for Linux, so companies have started releasing apps for Linux.
    • Flatpak has done the same, for distribution.

      Did you dare to say something positive about Electron? Blasphemy!
