Why The Linux Desktop Doesn't Matter Anymore
- at-fates-hands 13y agoOne word - Adobe. If Adobe had a creative suite on Linux, it would be a windfall for most of the developers I know. It's quite literally the only thing keeping them anchored to a Mac or Windows machine. Even more frustrating is how Adobe see this issue: "All the evidence says that the Linux market for (paying) desktop software is just too small. Linux has to develop a real market, or at least lower the cost of entry (seriously: how long can they go without standardizing APIs?), to make it attactive to developers."
