&gt; this is the same cheetodusting that makes people take Linux-on-the-desktop people with all the unseriousness they demand.<p>FWIW I&#x27;ve been running a Linux-only desktop for over sixteen years. I honestly think that it&#x27;s pretty close to being usable by nearly anyone, and I don&#x27;t think that&#x27;s an unserious opinion. It&#x27;s certainly usable by — and useful to — anyone technical, and that&#x27;s <i>not</i> an unserious opinion.
