It seems like no one wants to run Linux or its applications lately and they seem happier when Microsoft develops Windows applications and operating system things to handle Linux things. Now Linux apps run on iOS and it's starting to sound like Linux people are happy to see their stuff built by others and running on everything but Linux.
Now, in this day of so much fake news, I wouldn't be surprised that all the happy comments I read are by Microsoft and, now, iOS shills but it's an observation I've made.
- metildaa 8y agoI think much of this is Microsoft and Apple attempting to retain marketshare. Niether has well maintained, vast software archives like Debian, or instant rollback after a package install or update like SUSE (thanks to btrfs and zypper). Meanwhile the non-phone computer market is shrinking each year, and what remains is mostly a market for devices that are good at running browsers.
- sureaboutthis 8y agoI am positive Microsoft does it for that reason but this isn't a project by Apple.
