Fragmentation Is Why Desktop Linux Failed [video]
Really, the reason desktop Linux isn&#x27;t popular is:<p>1) A few things still don&#x27;t work. Vanishingly few now but still a few.<p>2) Linux can&#x27;t be simply as good as Windows or MacOs, it would have to be better for people to make the effort. And it&#x27;s not going to be better. I don&#x27;t think &quot;better&quot; is possible now (not in a fundamental, decisive way. Lots of little ways sure but, again, I don&#x27;t think that&#x27;s what people care so much about). An Os is just a way to launch apps and we&#x27;ve kind of a limit on such goodness. My desktop Linux launches my apps, especially my browser and that&#x27;s about it. I like being independent of the corporate megamachine but most people would not spend the hard two hours required for this.
