Linux future and trends from ordinar users point of view

Hi, Linux community!

I've switched to Linux from Windows for a week and mostly impressed by these things:

1. Hardware compatibility with my laptop. I didn't have any problems with drivers so far.
2. Almost all apps from Windows I use have Linux versions. I do not need to change my workflow.
3. Linux Mint UI is very similar to what I used to have on Windows. So it is not a problem to find Firewall settings, or monitor processes, for example.
4. All network interfaces work efficiently and fast. I tried SMB, NFS, FTP without any issues.

It looks so appealing, so I got this feeling that Linux will take away 10-20% of Windows auditory soon. And because I believe it is the wrong impression of a new user, who doesn't have any ruined expectations from Linux, I want to know more mature users' opinions.

If you have been using Linux for several years, can you share with me your thoughts about Linux's future as a desktop OS for ordinary users? Do you like the development path, or do you have some questions?

Created a daily crossword downloader from my favorite site, thought you might appreciate it!

I wrote this today, and I can't wait to build up a huge backlog of crosswords. I love [this site](https://www.onlinecrosswords.net/printable-daily-crosswords.php), but I forget to check it and download them every day. I wrote this noscript so it will do it for me! If you have any questions feel free to ask.

It downloads the daily 7 straight to created directories for the purpose, renames them shorter with the date, then packs them all into one PDF for easy printing!

I made this run automatically with Cron, but you don't have to.

@reboot sleep 15 && ./crosswords_downloader.sh

Here is the code... I know I can shorten this with a for loop, but I am new to Bash noscripting so I haven't messed with it yet.

#!/bin/bash

mkdir ~/crosswords
mkdir ~/crosswords/$(date +%m)-$(date +%d)

wget -P ~/crosswords/$(date +%m)-$(date +%d) https://www.onlinecrosswords.net/printable-daily-crosswords-{1,2,3,4,5,6,7}.pdf

cd ~/crosswords/$(date +%m)-$(date +%d)

mv printable-daily-crosswords-1.pdf puzz#1_$(date +%m)-$(date +%d).pdf
mv printable-daily-crosswords-2.pdf puzz#2_$(date +%m)-$(date +%d).pdf
mv printable-daily-crosswords-3.pdf puzz#3_$(date +%m)-$(date +%d).pdf
mv printable-daily-crosswords-4.pdf puzz#4_$(date +%m)-$(date +%d).pdf
mv printable-daily-crosswords-5.pdf puzz#5_$(date +%m)-$(date +%d).pdf
mv printable-daily-crosswords-6.pdf puzz#6_$(date +%m)-$(date +%d).pdf
mv printable-daily-crosswords-7.pdf puzz#7_$(date +%m)-$(date +%d).pdf

User Research for an Open Source App

Hi everybody! I am the main developer of Super Productivity an open source app for linux. Recently Stian a UX/UI Designer reached out to offer his help, which is great. He is very meticulous about the whole project and wants to underpin his suggestions with research data which I really like. In order to make it work he would need several people to volunteer for an interview. All necessary information can be found here: https://github.com/johannesjo/super-productivity/discussions/1011

Help would be very much appreciated!

Install bb via apt install, then run it and hit 8, you won't regret it

Install bb though the command line using sudo apt install bb, then run it and hit 8. You'll immediately get hit with a matrix style ASCII art, then it will go crazy with the ASCII art!

You won't regret it!

Bash Tab Completion Completer

I wish there were an easy way to generate the completions for a command line that would be generated if I were entering it and manually hitting tab. Like if I type ln --<Tab> I get a list of long options to the ln command. I'd like to be able to say, like, generate-completions-for 'ln --' and get out the same list. But there are environment variables that have to be set in order for compgen to work.
