From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Okay, I guess I'll say it. Year of Linux Desktop!
Every year from now until the end of time.
I will never get tired of Year of Linux Desktopping!
So every year till 2038. XD
explanation
Whew, I was getting worried we were one day into 2024 and nobody said this yet.
Next year is the year of IPv6!
I wish! I've got the hardware to support it, but neither of the two ISPs available at my house support IPv6.
Could be worse. My ISP has a broken implementation.
my isp supports ipv6 but disables it in openwrt config.
i found a way to get root access to it and re-enabled it, seems to work just fine. the configuration is kinda fucked up but kinda works (dhcpv6, no slaac)
Gotta keep the party going!
