Why don't more people use desktop Linux? I have a theory you might not like "There might be a very simple explanation for why the masses have yet to adopt Linux as their desktop operating system and it's one the open-source community won't like" https://www.zdnet.com/article/why-dont-more-people-use-desktop-linux-i-have-a-theory-you-might-not-like/ #opensource #linux #distro

Two main points:

  • no one unified distro to keep things simple (thread OP)

VS

  • people don’t care. Someone else needs to advocate, sell, migrate, and support (medium term) Linux (whichever distro they want) for the intermediate term (few months at least) - thread response).

I think a lot of the 97% desktop market share is like this, instead of the hands on 2-3%.

    actually I think the /s completely reversed the joke making it feel like you were mocking the other dude for potentially considering something else than capitalism
