I still think a desktop Linux will be big in the enterprise, especially for computer professionals. You need a powerful machine for certain things.

- confluence 14y agoYou're probably right - but that wasn't the goal of the Desktop - which was mainstream adoption.
- vidarh 14y agoWhen you make statements like this, you need to qualify the goal of whom. I've run Linux on my desktop since '95. It's not my goal to get mainstream adoption - mainstream adoption is irrelevant to me. The same is the case for a lot of people, and quite a few Linux "desktop distros". Specific distro's might have mainstreaming the Linux desktop as a goal. Some might have failed. Some are still trying. But there's no single goal here. Nor even a single vision of what a "Linux desktop" should look like.
