Ubuntu is alright -- the problem with Linux as an OS 'for the people' is that the people find the command line frightening.
Putting a pretty UX on top of Linux and making it easier to use just moves users further and further away from 'Linux' and closer and closer to an OS X or Windows, only without the games, hardware compatibility, and enterprise software options.
- markdown 13y ago> closer and closer to an OS X or Windows Which is the best way for an average user to interact with the machine, is it not? The ideal OS would be OS X levels of usable, but built entirely on Free Software. Once such an OS exists, it will draw in users, and the games/hardware-compatibility etc will always follow the users.
