I think that if Linux becomes the dominant desktop platform, it will be a new form (i.e. not based on Gnome or KDE). Just a (biased) hunch, though.

- freehunter 14y agoUbuntu is positioning itself for that possibility. They've been playing the long game, and it's still not finished, but they've broken from Gnome, broken from X.org, and with the Software Center, are really steering away from the terminal. Of course, they've pissed off a lot of Linux traditionalists, but that could be a net gain for the desktop market.
