> Well - firstly consider the linux desktop has been touted as a "not yet ready" for 10? maybe 15 years. Depending on the user, it's been viable for that long, and we've even had non-techie users for a while now without much issue. > While it was obscure, it wasn't targeted as often by viruses, malware, and the worst thing of all - commercialization. If malware wasn't an issue with Linux running 90% of the servers on the planet, why would more desktop use matter? > Same idea as when anything obscure gets too popular. The original occupants (whether they're right or wrong) aren't too keen on seeing the crowds rush in. Right, but... Does it matter? If I just install, say, Ubuntu on my laptop and use it, what do I care if a billion other people use it too? If anything, driver and software support should improve without costing me anything. |
