>They seem to take the end user more seriously Unless you're trying to keep music on your computer and use iTunes, in which case they upload all your music to the cloud and delete it off your PC. >Man, I really wish Google would release their desktop Linux. Ubuntu is OK, but someone with pockets like that could finish the job, and make a credible, consumer-accessible, 3rd alternative to keep BOTH #1 and #2 on their toes. Have they actually talked about doing this? It really wouldn't take much to make a "credible, consumer-accessible" version of Linux. Most of the pieces are already present, and Linux Mint for instance is already very easy for a non-expert to install and use. The main problems are 1) graphics drivers for non-Intel chips and 2) software compatibility. Lots of games already work on Linux thanks to Steam. A little more work with WINE maybe, and some improvements to Nouveau, and some more polishing and you'd easily have something that a casual PC user can install easily and use. It'd probably help too if they finally finished Wayland and got the whole systemd thing settled. Then they'd just need to use their influence to push other companies to do their part, such as stupid printer manufacturers who don't make Linux drivers for their winprinters (not a problem for good printers, but for the cheapo inkjets it still is). Hoenstly, I find it pretty disappointing that Red Hat hasn't done more in this area, particularly considering they're the ones who created systemd and employ many Gnome3 devs. You'd think they'd be pushing corporate Linux desktops hard, but they don't seem to be.
