Why don't more people use desktop Linux? I have a theory you might not like

Jump

  • Highly probable. But considering Microsoft has been subsidized by the US government indirectly for decades I don't see it being much different except that the GPL license hopefully will allow for the OS to become a common good.

  • Astra Linux will be Russia's main desktop if this war continues for another 4 or 5 years. China UOS (Deepin) will be China's main desktop by 2030 or so if the USA keeps up with the trade war. Lots of countries will adopt Deepin if it's cheaper and just as stable. Linux will never be the main desktop in the West but we'll see non US allied countries become Linux countries in the next 20 years.

  • Trump was actually very pro mask at the beginning of the pandemic until the CDC told him they didn't have enough stock for everyone. The CDC first said not to mask up so that they could secure enough supplies for government workers. This is all recorded fact.

  • The best answer IMO is always Linux Mint when people ask these kind of questions.

  • SUSE is independent again and back to focusing on Linux. It was the American corporation Novell that did all the cuts. Now that it's back to being independent German they are putting new focus on Linux desktop.

  • SUSE was an independent company before, during, and after its 5 years under Novell. That's a weird attribution to Novell when SUSE has always been the contributing company to Linux.
