the year of linux

hello,

work in this field, I would like to remind users gnu+linux is not a consumer OS! it is used in specialized areas of computing i.e. supercomputers, enterprise, certain areas of software development, networking and storage management (servers).

there are reasons for this which can be loosely categorized by 'externally' and 'internally'. externally, gnu+machines are easier to maintain, cheaper and more reliable. internally, the l-kernel itself responds and is better suited to the tasks I previously mentioned.

notice that these tasks listed are generally not consumer oriented! linux is taking great steps and leaps in trying to penetrate that market but as of today and tomorrow won't be a consumer OS. If you are interested in this type OS, use XNU! It is a consumer friendly.

thank you for reading!!

It's not the year of the desktop at all, never mind the GNU/Linux desktop. It used to be a crusade to get normies out of the Windows ecosystem. Now there are no normies left except a handful of people with laptops. In the US OEM desktops are dead and self-assembled ones are growing hugely but their primary purpose seems to be video games. I may be entirely mistaken here, my monitor is my only window into the world, but I think this post has been more accurate than not.

We can draw connections from the 2000's desktop OS debates to modernity with smartphone OS' but it's complex because you have Linux and Unix. Android being fine but then being mutilated and defaced into an abomination by carriers and phone makers for god knows what reason. On the other side you have the pinnacle of normie-ware, iOS. An OS designed for your girlfriend and mom.
