Why is it that so many random companies are starting to throw their weight behind Linux? Valve, Microsoft, Google, etc.

It makes me nervous.

Open Source means more developers which means less work on their end.

Fear of Microsoft locking them out of Windows or taking a cut of their profits

The process of open source is something that is set to be inherently more successful in the laws of the universe. Systems which cooperate and evolve tend to survive longer, which is why open source software tools exist that have been around so long, whereas software made by corporations have often died.

Linux has no desktop.
Linux is a kernel.

There will never be the year of the linux desktop.

>>55647475
true but all the normies will only laugh at you when you tell them to install a "GNU desktop"

Only thing that works and is not wrong in those terms is to tell them to install ubuntu because people tend to have heard of it nowadays, but then its ubuntu and furthermore its still doesnt credit GNU...

is this the new desktop thread??

>>55647572
no, this is a GNU/meta thread
this is where discussion about linux being a major Desktop OS is done, which would cause more desktop threads if it ever did happen
