David Heinemeier Hansson:

I’ve never seen so many developers curious about leaving the Mac and giving Linux a go. Something has really changed in the last few years. Maybe Linux just got better? Maybe powerful mini PCs made it easier? Maybe Apple just fumbled their relationship with developers one too many times? Maybe it’s all of it. But whatever the reason, the vibe shift is noticeable.

Something feels different about desktop Linux at the moment, for sure. I suspect it’s driven primarily by Windows 10 reaching end of life for most users, Apple making increasingly awful decisions, and Valve making major advancements in game compatibility with the Steam Deck and Proton.

Those three trends have resulted in people like DHH, PewDiePie, and others making the switch, which only adds to the momentum.
