Exactly. The year of the ARM server has been predicted for more than 10 years. (Only topped by the year of the Linux desktop, but the latter has probably just been a joke most of the time anyway.)
- faeriechangling 3y agoThe year of the linux desktop has been such a long prevailing joke that when the Linux desktop took over the education market nobody paid attention and people keep making YOTLD jokes.
- icelancer 3y agoI think about this from time to time. The Linux desktop is actually here in huge sectors of the market and no one cares. They displaced Apple in education due to expense and Apple finally hitting escape velocity (and thus can price their goods at whatever they want), so you see a ton of Ubuntu/Mint/etc desktop cheap machines in schools that run web browsers and OpenOffice (but mostly the former). It's pretty funny.
