There's an enduring belief in the Linux community that the reason the year of the Linux desktop hasn't come about has nothing to do with lack of stable ABI, API, murky processes of app distribution, inaccessible development processes, basic functionality like graphics acceleration or audio being dodgy for decades, but is exclusively due to dastardly machinations of Micro$oft (with a dollar sign of course, as other, trillion dollar tech companies who use Linux, aren't in it for the money).
Please grow up and take a look in the mirror.
- weare138 4y agoThe article never mentions Linux on the desktop.
- alophawen 4y ago> The article never mentions Linux on the desktop. The comment you reply to never claimed that it did. Why not reflect on the content of the comment and be a part of the discussion instead of .. this?
- weare138 4y agoBecause it's a straw man argument unrelated to the article?
- pessimizer 4y agoA part of the discussion about how Linux people only criticize Microsoft because of their own jealousy and failure? No, that's a stupid discussion.
- torginus 4y agoI think it is implied - I mean why else would one be fearmongering about big bad Microsoft? The server? - The vast majority of the server market runs Linux - including much of Azure. Likewise there's no presence of Windows in the handheld market (I'm not sure if this counts as a win for Linux, since Android is barely Linux).
