Finally, The Year Of Linux On The Desktop! :D :D :D
(Probably not :))
- Silhouette 10y agoI can't see any of the current Linux distros taking over desktops in any big way, even with Microsoft's current strategy, by 2020. The application base just isn't there. In this context, I think Linux has most potential as the foundation for more targeted platforms that might compete for specific niches within the traditional desktop space, along the lines of Chrome OS or SteamOS. Android has shown that you can build a very successful, very widely used platform on top of Linux within the kind of time frame we're talking about here.
