I think you are right in this regards. There maybe some hope from HPs "The Machine" project, but I'm not holding my breath. The problem that Linux has is both a benefit and a downside, depending on what you want from desktop Linux. For hobbyists and developers the idea of free and open with all the distros and GUIs is a big plus. But that is what is anathema to a successful commercial product. Canonical made and is still making some very right steps for a commercial products. But much of what they've done has been howled about within the Linux community. They've gone their own way and even added some commercial software into the mix. From a "I want to sell it" point of view, those are great steps. Solid message, good looking product and the right mix of free and commercial software. Unfortunately the Linux community will keep those that might have considered it from even trying it. Such poor attitudes, downright snobby! -- Lloyd |

On 09/14/15 10:45, Lloyd Parsons so wittily quipped:
It would be nice if Linux supported many more wireless cards too! Almost every laptop I've looked at won't have wifi on install of Linux. You have to add it later after you find and download the driver. That should not be the case these days. you can blame the "no BLOB" policies from certain open source zealots. They might mean well, but they forget WiFi has to deal with the FCC which is why Broadcom's drivers must remain 'closed source' with a Linux wrapper around the BLOB [what they do for access points]. In some ways Linus doesn't like BLOBs either, but I think he'd accept it if enough people insisted. And making them part of the kernel would solve that problem. |

That's why they have to get the VISA carded foreigners to do the engineering now. heh, probably true. they're busy indoctrinating the 'young skulls full of mush' in the glory of leftism, radical environmentalism, and reverse racism [it's all "whitey's" fault], and failing to educate in areas that would actually STIMULATE creativity (music, art), and swapping in the poetry of Maya Angeloo instead of the poetry of Robert Louis Stevensen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert...enson#Politics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Chil...rden_of_Verses And don't forget teaching kids NOT to think for themselves. It's harder to *control* a free thinking person. better start *EARLY* to PREVENT it... And the "new new math" that's part of 'common core'... Ew. http://truthinamericaneducation.com/...math-problems/ These are *ALL* recipes for *FAIL* for the next generation. and don't EVEN get me started on the drugging of non-linear minded creative students that fidget because they're *BORED* in a class filled with linear-minded kids, so they get DRUGGED with Ritalin instead, to force their little minds to "dumb down" so they won't distrupt. nevermind that great inventors like THOMAS EDISON was a kid like that! Guess what HE ended up being like? yeah. take the best and brightest, dumb them down, make the nail that sticks out GET THE HAMMER, train people NOT to excel, NOT to do better, and NOT give rewards if they ever *DO* do better. Recipe for FAIL. No WONDER Windows 10 looks the way it does! it was designed by the children of THIS kind of education system! |

Most every windows desktop user has at least one "gottahave" that renders linux unacceptable FOR THEM. For me it is screencasting applications. There are simple screen recorders for Linux, but nothing that allows me to do things I often do with the competition (I can go into more detail if you care). Even without that, the poor UI of every single distro is a problem in terms of productivity, efficiency, and error-reduction.
