It's pretty sad when Linux users have given up on the Linux desktop and decided to just use Windows. Having WSL is surely a great advantage so you can get the job done, but it gives a feeling of a cobbled together system that is a reaction to the failure of Linux on the desktop.
- toyg 6y agoThere is still no business model for Linux on the desktop, sadly. Ubuntu was the closest we got to having a "Redhat for desktops" and they too bailed to the server/cloud space (and phones, and anything that promised a bit of $$$).
- cyberdrunk 6y agoThe only "business" model I see is when someone like Musk decides to pour billions into freeing humanity from Windows. Ironically, it could be Gates Foundation's next big charity project!
- toyg 6y agoThat's basically what Shuttleworth tried, and it didn't work. Alright, he's no Musk and certainly no Gates, but he did spend a good chunk of his own change.
