That's entirely different issue, that doesn't have technical roots. The world didn't migrate en-masse to Windows Phone either, despite it being quite nice mobile OS at the time.
- pjmlp 6y agoSure it has, a fragmentation and continuous forking of major desktop stacks that don't allow ISVs to thrust the platform. WP also doing slowly well, the whole technical stack was rebooted multiple times, and thus it lost the developer love that got fed up with so many reboots. Also the reason why Win32 and WinRT are now being merged via Project Reunion, confirming the trend that started with MSIX and XAML Islands introduction.

If you are halfway competent ISV, you don't have a problem. Sure, there is no polished SDK that contains the entire world, but everything needed is available in respective repos. You also do not need to support every release of Kali and Slackware. If you focus on the most used distribution(s), you won't have a problem with support. Even Microsoft can do it today. > Also the reason why Win32 and WinRT are now being merged via Project Reunion, confirming the trend that started with MSIX and XAML Islands introduction. Causing collective yawn. But don't worry, other desktops have exactly the same problem, because again, it is not a tech problem.
- pjmlp 6y agoApparently being a halfway competent ISV is a synonym with shipping Electron apps, yeah the future of Desktop Linux is great.
