I don’t doubt the potential is there, it has been for years but again the user and developer base in the problem for Linux. There are too many Linux distributions out there, not one unified UI and an user base that looks down on those computer users who want something more simple.
Again, I love *nix in general and use it for my own purposes but you need to look at this question from the point of view from John Q. Public computer user.
I understand and largely agree. Check Linux forums versus those of Windows, compared with the number of users, and it should become evident. My key word was “potential.”
Yah. As a frequent car renter I am really happy with the single unified UI found in all automobiles.
