Why Linux Failed on the Desktop

The failure of Linux to catch on with mainstream PC users will come as
no great surprise to most observers, but the reasons for its failure are
often misunderstood or, at the very least, grossly misstated. Linux
didn't fail on the desktop because it's "too geeky," "too hard to use,"
or "too obscure," as casual detractors so often claim in online forums.
On the contrary, the best-known distribution--Ubuntu--has received high
marks for usability from every major player in the technology press, and
it features a menu layout nearly identical to that of Mac OS X.

User expectations have shifted dramatically in the past few years, and
it's no longer acceptable for any PC to fail at basic media viewing. DVD
playback and video streaming from premium sites such as Netflix are now
fundamental capabilities that any computer should have. But the politics
of the open-source world make that a nearly hopeless dream for Linux.

I am no expert on anything, but I do feel confident is saying that Linux
has no chance on the desktop. It never did. Sorry, that's how I see it.
Linux has a wonderful chance on the smartphones, and it's popular on Web
servers.

Take the dumb fucks from the USA out of the equation and the Ubuntu/Mint
is at least 30% of the desktops out there. How can you expect people who
follow the likes of Palin, Bush, Rand and O'Donnell to be able to change
from Windows to Linux?

LOL what a spin what a misdirect you have going there Spanish Drip. You
don't have a lick of evidence/documentation to backup your claim.
Someone needs to go upside your head with bricks and knock some sense
into you. You are worst than 7 could ever be, and that's saying a lot you.

Your head is so hard, it would take a dump truck full of bricks upside
your thick skull to get you. Myself, I have several bricks with your
name on them. :)

Linux is dead at the desktop. It never had a chance. They (the masses)
don't know that Linux even exists, nor do they care.
