This is going to sound somewhat selfish but I don't actually care if desktop linux succeeds in the mainstream.
It's been my primary operating system on the desktop since the very early 2000's and in all that period it has never been 5%.
There is enough users and momentum to keep it going beyond that I don't care.
For a developer it's basically a solved problem.
- toper-centage 5y agoIt's funny that people think that even 1% of all desktop users is "little". That's hundreds of millions of users.
- Paianni 5y agoI don't think there are 10 billion desktop users.
- slategruen 5y agoSame sentiments but I have my reservations. I wish we just have enough Linux users to drive open standards. A lot of proprietary standards became proprietary because companies just doesn't care about a few Linux users.
