Besides, remember the SCO-Linux disputes? MS was said to have thrown quite a bit of support to SCO. See which side won?

It should be emphasized that Stallman did not say that he expects Linux to be extinguished. The article quoted his explanation.

History since 1980 gives Stallman 90% probability of being correct about MS planning destruction of Linux.

That’s my 2 cents, LOL.

(Actually, I think it is an absolute certainty.)

IIRC Shuttleworth created the Ubuntu Unity desktop with all sorts of adware.

I use Mint (based on Ubuntu) with the Cinnamon desktop.

Last month my hard drive crashed. I wasn't going to reload windows again. I jumped feet first into using Arch Linux and been having a heck of time learning it.

Most everything is working.. I'm still having troubles with creating a path in 32 bit wine that works. I'm getting there though.
