This isn't remotely true and rhetoric like this is why the linux desktop failed. Yes, people want to browse and look at photos and that's 80% of their use, but you're not covering that other 20% and that other 20% is mandatory. Playing a PC only game, using a PC only productivity suite, continue to use their beloved software, use real software suites not dumbed down mobile equivalents, etc.
Taking away a PC and giving someone a locked down tablet is fairly ridiculous. That'll be just as successful as the "Linux Mandrake replaces Windows XP" rhetoric older geeks remember. You guys were wrong then and wrong today.
- FD3SA 11y agoLinux would have killed every other OS a long time ago if it had put its principles aside. Open source kernel, with proprietary, for-profit userland like Android on top to make money and afford proper engineers. Ubuntu is pretty amazing for an OS developed by hobbyists and non-profits, but is of course a disaster compared to OSX or Android which have had countless billions spent on constantly improving them.
