Which one? 😁

If someone sees it that way, that’s not something any of us can do anything about.

It is sarcastic.

Wanna know the first time I heard “This is the Year of the Linux Desktop!”? 1999.

Yes, nineteen ninety-nine. Twenty-five years ago.

Linux as a desktop is still a laugh. It still doesn’t come close to Windows of twenty-five years ago.

But it’s killer as a server, or a purpose-built system. My NAS/VM server kicks ass under Linux, way better than running windows. Even VMware recently switched their desktop virtualization to using Linux. This is where Linux shines.

You could make a Windows killer desktop, except which distro? Which shell? Which set of base tools/utilities? Define “killer desktop” in the Linux community.

Windows is the general purpose OS, with a common shell. That’s what MS did, settle on one UI (mostly), so it’s a common experience everywhere.

I used to say that, but XP and 7 with proper 64 bit support would like a word.

I just shut down a win7 box a couple months ago. Ran continuously for 10+ years.

me and my inner raccoon

Hahahaha, I’ll be borrowing that, thank you

Hahahaha, nice!
