> That pretty much requires a fuck up on the part of Windows or Mac to drive people to use Linux. Windows XP, Vista, 8. I mean even if these fuck ups haven't brought Linux market share above rounding error, nothing will. One thing that could make desktop Linux viable - is throwing transparency, openess, customizability and all similar "good" Linux stuff through the window, having a dictatorship with good UX people and forcing users to one true way. People do not care that they can tinker with their desktop - I really do not care that I cannot make my macOS or Windows look like screenshots in unixporn subreddit - I just want an experience that's concise, the same for every application, polished, clean, lean, etc etc etc. Windows had this in Windows 7 (10th version with UWP programs for tablets really disturbs the UX), macOS still has this. Elementary and especially Solus distributions are doing that - "oooh you want X? well screw you buddy, that's poor UX".
