I joke a lot and say Linux is nothing more than a glorified PDA OS. It
still is in many respects as I still can do tons more under Windows than
I can do under any Linux. But Android is so much closer to a PDA OS than
Linux ever was.


Linux is a power user/admin desktop. It is an OS designed to be used
as a server. Normal user desktop is almost an afterthought for it.

"The President is merely the most important among a large number of
public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the
degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his
efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested
service to the nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary
that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts,
and this means that it is exactly as necessary to blame him when he
does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in
an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there
must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the
President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is
morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth
should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more
important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than
about any one else." - President Theodore Roosevelt
