You describe exactly how Linux became what it is.
And the goal was not to support all the hardware there was - just 386. In light of existing examples, your argument has little value.
I'm in the Replicant market. I don't give a shit about convenience if I can find a free software version somewhere :)...

- nilliams 13y agoYou're quite right. UX was never a factor with Linux, and OSS (in the large, excluding things like Basecamp, sorry) has never succeeded to create good, consumer UX. Unfortunately UX is absolutely critical with mobile. Here's a talk by Aral Balkan (that I couldn't recommend more) that covers this topic amazingly (jump to about 32m30s for the meat): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1QCBzQ0aNc&t=00h32m30s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1QCBzQ0aNc&t=00h32m30s
