linux fetish threads are so tedious. 20 years ago, linux’s market share was a very small non-zero number. today, linux’s market share is a very small non-zero number. 20 years from now, best case scenario, the linux market share will be a very small non-zero number.

tough to get excited about a half a century of stagnation, even when it’s fanatical stagnation.

Yeah, I know that there are those that don’t get it. I just hate Microsoft’s business model and dislike their bloatware. Linux desktop software does what I want it to do, it runs fast, and it’s compatible. Plus I get to tinker a bit...

With all the cyber malware out there, I can see tiny distros becoming VERY popular.

IMO, Gentoo is the only one on that list worth trying.
