The "linux" girl must not be very smart. Doesn't shoe know that Linux was
written by geeks for geeks who can't get laid?
She's cute. I'd do her. Afterwards we would play on Windows 7.
You're still an asshole.

30 million linux users!? Probably an over optimistic estimate - a likely
number is about 10 million. But 30 or 10, many of those users are 'server
farms', so the actual number of desktop users is considerably lower -
probably about 3 million. Typically a single Linux user will also go through
several distros ... up-ing the numbers dramatically.
Considering it is free -- and they give it away -- and they've been giving
it away for free since, what, 1991, it is a pretty poor showing. Dismal,
really. Windows 95 sold at a rate of a million copies every four days -- and
it was based on DOS!
So this little Youtube video is just sad, sad, sad -- pathetic really --
not including the fact that the video is lame in and of itself .. a poor
showing for an OS that they've been giving away for free for two decades.
Linux on the desktop? It's not going to happen. Because even though they
give it away for free no one wants it. 'Pile of commie cra*p.

It was also preinstalled on 99.99999999999999999999999999999% of all
computers because MS strong armed all the OEMs. Are you really such a

Linux hasn't been ready for the desktop that long. Ubuntu came out less
than six years ago and has to compete with a de facto monopoly. To have
over 13 million Ubuntu users is pretty good considering all the FUD that
morons like you lap up from MS and spread around.

Only four countries embrace communism. I bet you can't tell us which
ones they are. Hint: Russia isn't one of them. Linux isn't developed in
any of them. Ubuntu is developed in South Africa, a democracy.

The numbers don't lie, still less than 1% for all Linux distros after 20
years.
Come back when Linux passes OSX that should take about 20 years or so.

You are playing with statistics as a True Windroid would. The fact that
there are a lot more machines than twenty years ago means the percentage
may stay the same but the amount of users has grown immensely. If you
were to remove all the preinstalled OSes from the mix, Linux would be
number one. If you were to remove backward countries like the USA, Linux
would be number one.

On the desktop, linux is not taking it, it's flatlining. And has been for
twenty years. Even the "other" OSes do better. Such a shame to watch them

You know, if you removed all the other OSes from the graph, linux would
finally be the number one - still a flat line on the bottom - but it would

Even "Other" (not named) OSes do better than linux.

I wonder why this top posting windroid thinks that Linux is in some kind
of competition with other oses. Smart people use Linux. Dummies use
Windows. There are obviously a lot more dummies than smart people. The
pathetic thing is that it will probably stay that way.

Re: why linux is a POS toy os...
And linux is at the bottom, whether in posting or % of desktops.
Very very few people use Linux, Alias, whether smart or dumb or in-between.
Well over a billion desktops run OSX and Windows, about 3 million estranged
desktops (often older and dilapidated equipment) have linux on them .. in 50
different flavours at that .. all not compatible with anything save HTML
4.0 -- and even then they're spotty.
The thing is flat-lining so bad, it's a bit of a waste of my time even
giving it a thought. Why don't we discuss some "Other" OS that's doing
better than linux, OS/2 Warp 4.0 maybe?

Re: why linux is a POS toy os...
Maybe 13 million downloads - but millions of these downloaders moved
straight back to Windows. You know that is true. Me and many who post here
have downloaded several maybe many copies of Linux each - but I don't use it
and a threw the copies out and stopped caring about linux years ago. A few
people give linux a spin, but few of these stay. UNIX and UNIX clones are
too old, too convoluted, too incompatible (even with each other), too
complicated, too unsupported, too difficult. Sure, the linux kernel code is
'open source', but how many people want to code and compile operating system
kernels? A university professor might want to play with the kernel code as
an exercise for the students studying, say, sephamores, but on the desktop,
what's the point?
And sure linux is a cheap solution for a web server (but even as a web
server it is being eclipsed by other solutions these days) .. and .. as
mentioned you might find linux in politically correct environments and ivory
towers such as in a university setting, but elsewhere? To all intents and
purposes: nada. Face it, on the desktop it flat-lines.
