Yeah but folks around here like to stick their heads in the sand when reminded that this is a very real and concerning barrier to adoption of desktop Linux. It could happen 1000 times and they’ll still scream that it’s either user error or even worse “it works on my machine”.
Until the Linux community stops pretending and accepts that these are real issues and they need addressing, it will never be the year of the Linux desktop.
- givemeethekeys 10mo agoMaybe not for everyone, but it will never be the year of the Windows Desktop for everyone either.
- magicalhippo 10mo agoIt was, some 25+ years ago.
- NamlchakKhandro 10mo agoNo it wasn't. Only in your head
- foxglacier 10mo agoOver 90% of desktops had Windows back then. So yea, that's everybody. Unless you're being pedantic because one guy was using IRIX on an SGI workstation, or the odd Mac.
- givemeethekeys 10mo ago10% of everyone is still a whole lot of people. Even 1% of everyone is a lot of people.
- jama211 10mo agoNo one said “everyone” until you did, and now you’re using it to be pedantic… bad faith tactic that.
- foxglacier 9mo agoOf course "everyone" isn't meant literally in a context like this.
- jama211 10mo agoDon’t be a troll.
- jama211 10mo agoEveryone is a basically impossible metric, so this is a fairly pointless statement.
