Today on Linux Desktop: routine update made most of the icons turn blue or disappear.

@cancel@merveilles.town The Year of the Linux Desktop is upon us
@kayden the year of the linux desktop was over a decade ago, we just need to return.
(half joking, but I can't deny that I want a desktop that feels like what I imagine these images to be like from time to time)
@Yoshi @kayden Some people poured a bunch of money and effort into Ubuntu, which was reliable and easy to use in its first few releases.
IBM had only recently sold its ThinkPad division to Lenovo. It would take a few more years for the effects of that to set in. Until then, there were lots of reliable and high-quality laptops still on the market.
Apple had only recently started to make computers that were price-competitive, and the effects weren't visible yet.
