I'm fairly confident that yes, this will be the year of the Linux desktop:

2024 = 20 | 24

20 x 3 + 16 = 76, which is the ASCII value of 'L'.

24 x 3 + 12 = 84, which is the ASCII value of 'T'.

= LT = Linux Torvalds



I'm so thankful for the mathematicians of HN! Hear hear! Year of Linux!


Always has been (the linux desktop is the terminal!)


It's fun I know. I want to know why you multiplied them with 3 and then added by 16 & 12 respectively. Any relation


A mathematician never reveals their secrets! Good thing for you I ain't a mathematician and barely finished high school!

I started out with wanting to get 76 and 84 by multiplying with 3 (because 3 is a magic number), then just adding whatever to get the number I wanted.

Yes, it's all a sham and a bamboozle. I'm sorry to let you down.


I assume its because using 16 & 15 hasn't worked since 2023, and likewise only 16 & 9 will work for 2025
