My point is that the gap is closing. Linux has caught up to the pack in many areas and has even taken the lead in some (like package management). So it doesn't have to speed up in order to one day win.
But it does have to adapt to the changes in the technology landscape that are happening right now i.e. "post-PC" devices and "big data". These are the biggest changes Linux has ever seen and, unlike the web, they don't particularly work in its favor.
- grncdr 15y agoCan you explain how "big data" applies to the desktop, and how linux is falling behind?
- extension 15y agoI'm not sure that I'm using the term correctly, but what I mean is this: if control of personal data becomes all that matters then which OS you use may become unimportant and Linux may lose it's raison d'etre unless it can offer something unique to that cause e.g. http://freedomboxfoundation.org/ http://freedomboxfoundation.org/
