Pardon my ignorance but what is the criteria for a linux desktop being a thing? Is it a certain minimum market share?
There's plenty of linux desktops out there. There is certainly a ways to go, I'm not trying to deny that, I'm just wondering what constitutes a successful linux desktop. User-friendliness? Where are the goalposts exactly?
- FigBug 8y agoI think "year of Linux on the desktop" is mostly an old Slashdot meme. There are no specific goalposts, it's just used to make fun of Linux adoption.
- 8bitsrule 8y agoAs with many fine things, not everything in life is about how many people are ... , but who is. To bend Obama's words a bit: If you’ve got a computer business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.
