>It's an appliance model of computing.
That's the real strength of Linux, creating appliances from commonly available hardware. The biggest mistake is therefore to copy Apple and MS and their general purpose approach, it will never work because the community isn't united like a company, every Linux camp seeks to make the best thing for their own purpose, and constantly clashes with other camps that want to do the same for themselves. A general purpose Linux OS is an anti pattern.
- Recurecur 7y agoComplete and utter nonsense. You might as well rant about "general purpose" sheets of paper. There is a need for general purpose computing, and Linux is one of the very few options there. That won't change. One major beauty of Linux is its flexibility, so it can also provide niche/embedded products.
