I remember it being kind of the opposite to how you describe it. In the 80s and early 90s, unix enthusiasts could be smug about the rise of unix being inevitable. Maybe that wouldn't have been true of linux ppl. But unix systems didn't meet user needs, and unix got sent into the wilderness. Twenty years on, X-windows still shits me for the same reasons it did back then. Why is configuration so awkward? Why is the clipboard system so awful?
