What are you most excited when it comes to linux in 2024?

For me it must be kde plasma 6 and the wayland driver for wine.

Edit: I made the question gendered by using the word guys. I've fixed my mistake.

Probably true convergence between mobile and desktop, where your linux phone is powerful enough to be your only computing device. You would only need something like a lapdock (basically a laptop without the guts) and instead of a cable connecting the two, a slot maybe somewhere within the keyboard that your phone slips into. Maybe this exists already, I don't know.

That whole line of products was before it's time, I really wanted one of the phone/tablet combos, but man were they expensive.

It's a cool idea and there are similar devices, but they never seem to catch on because most people would rather carry a laptop that's still useful if something happens to their phone

This is what I'm most excited about. I started using gnome mobile on my OnePlus 6. It's still not there yet but it feels better than phosh, Few more bugs tho. I'm so excited for it and what you mentioned is the future I dream about.

How is hardware support these days on OnePlus 6? I'm close to buying one for Linux but keep waiting thinking that a newer alternative might appear.

Not as good as I hoped. I'd wait. Wifi works, didn't try putting a SIM in yet but the gryo doesn't work so there's no auto rotate and scaling is off. It's either too big or too small. I don't think the GPS works either but I'll have to test it.
