- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y ago> Well Linux was certainly designed to be a desktop. Kinda, not really. Linus stopped at the kernel, and one of the key features of a good Desktop OS is, well, all that user-interface stuff above the kernel that Linus neither wrote nor prescribed a design for. It is very clear from the way Linux Desktops work and the way Linux development culture works that the Linux ecosystem is designed first and foremost as a UNIX server with some thought put into being a workstation for UNIX developers.
