But it is of paramount importance to those running desktops!
Remember that Linux became popular because it is reliable
alternative to both Windows and MacOS as a desktop system.
Excuse me? Linux on the desktop has been and still is a goal. Maybe with
Valve making Steam on Linux a reality this might take things a bit
closer in terms of home desktops but business desktops is still a pipe
dream.
Nah. I see it (and use it) on desktops all over the place. Every
company I've worked for in the past few years has moved to, or is in
the process of moving to Linux for desktops. Sorry!
Good for you. I'm not seeing it over here at all. I thought there would
be a good chance with KDE3 and its ability to have an easy to use
centrally managed desktop environment but then the KDE chaps decided to
get a new toy.
Must be nice to have people willing to move to Open/Libre Office and
also away from Outlook's email/central calendar integration.
Well, I do work in a technical industry, where people are a bit less
tolerant of garbage. But here, even the "business" types (who don't
know any better, and who thing crashing and viruses are "just how
computers are") have long been tired of Windows and its crap.
