I use Linux and frameworks built on top of Linux extensively in my company (which is powered by Amazon Web Services and their Amazon Linux distribution, built upon CentOS).

But it’s silly to think Linux will ever go anywhere on the desktop. That has been said for 15-20 years. I remember trying it in the late 90s back in the bad old days of Winmodems (well, they’re still here, but wifi and ethernet has replaced direct connections to the internet).

However, I do use a unix-based OS on 100% of my personal devices: OS X and iOS. And Apple has made it fantastic.

You do know that OS X (apple) is a unix based X windows system?

It's a pretty popular desktop.
