I dont understand why you would WANT linux to dominate desktop market :/ I thought the whole point of linux is that its a playground for advanced users. Windows on the other hand, was designed for normal users, who would never even think of scripting of piping etc. So considering the general public aren't hackers, why would they come over to the linux side?

> I dont understand why you would WANT linux to dominate desktop market I don't, necessarily. Or, more accurately, I used to, then I didn't, and now I don't really care. I long ago realized there's a sweet spot technology when that technology is used enough to be popular in niches, but not enough that skills in it's use and maintenance are commoditized. Professionally, this results in more demand for your skills. Personally, this allows you to invest some portion of your identity/personality in your choice, especially if your identity is slightly nonconformist (this isn't necessarily a good thing, but it can feel good).
