Future of Linux

Normal consumers will give up desktop computers overall and use Android or iOS.

The only thing this will cause is change. Change is bad. Microsoft can keep their desktop market.

This right here. It's really only a waiting game.

People might use older OSs like Windows 7.

For sure, but people do that shit today. There are still win xp installs out there in the world.

We are in the position to give a dull desktop replacement for work but in reality nobody is offering. I mean not only a distro, but the right tools. Right until weeks ago nobody was offering WPS Office to replace MS Office and nobody though on doing so, while stuff like WPS are gamechangers.

Something like that could happen, if it not were the other way around what really happens. People want computers WITH touchscreens, and I mean full computers. The mobile market can only provide so much, but not everything.

Honestly the only reason desktop Linux isn't shit is because only developers and sysadmins use it.

The "year of the Linux desktop" will be the year corporations rape everything systemd-style.

After the Win10 replacement is announced (2019) and before the end of its support (2025), Microsoft will announce a Windows flavored Linux distro.

lets get real for a moment. You install windows 10 in about 45 minutes and for most linuxes its about the same but remember. Biggest base linuxes are about 1 gigabytes or 2 while windows 10 can be more than 5 gigabytes of data. And what happens when you open them. On the linux there are about 2 functional buttons, 3 are nonfunctional and in those two buttons there are some pictures to play with. Maybe slide down or up. On windows though, you feel like a god. Its professional its fast, its all functional. You have a godlike user interface. The thing that the linux does not have. You have those two buttons in the linux, but you still search google for codes to write in terminal. Linux is free because its not worth a penny. Nobody would sell a paper without taking the money. Just not sure why people still buy android while windows phone does 10 times more. Trust me. When you work with windows you know some genius ground breaker dedicated himself to give you an operational os

What the fuck are you talking about?

I actually laughed. Even Windows fanboys acknowledge that it's the slowest option.

The day you can do even the simplest IT operations in Windows (e.g. recursively search a directory for any email addresses and write them to a text file) without having an aneurysm is the day I eat my shoe.

It's pretty clear that you have no idea what you're talking about.
