The desktop computer has already fallen out of prominence as of about 12 years ago (to laptops). But if you mean the desktop UI concept I don’t see that changing for a while. There are people that do everything on an iPad, sure, but they’re in the extreme minority and it’s mostly basic office shit or digital art. There are also people that use tablets to remote into a desktop computer to do more complex work, but that still requires a full desktop OS.
my zoomer coworker (a programmer) only has a laptop for work. he uses his phone for everything else and frankly, finds it weird that we like to sit in front of these huge monitors just to browse the web.
That’s not the point of this post. I AM using linux. I’m looking for a program but all people want to suggest are terminal shit. I don’t care about “efficiency” or whatever. Just give me a damn UI
Linux being easier to use with each passing year to counteracted by the further tech illiteracy of zoomers and alphas.
The monkeys paw will grant us the year of Linux desktop when the desktop falls out of prominence

for him, the desktop is already dead.

Tbh usually any time I want a program in Linux I Google “install x terminal Linux” and it’s almost always been a one liner to paste in
Like I really don’t like using a terminal but it’s gotten me more comfortable with it which is nice
Sorry you’re having a rough time though
