[QUOTE="mazskolnieces, post: 911578, member: 88422"] Linux desktop is a failure in the commercial sense. And for the world, everything is measured in dollars and cents. People will use freewares. Sure they will. Whether or not they're a success or failure depends upon the measuring stick used. Anyone can use a different measuring stick to make something seem better than it actually is. Most freewares are destined to become failures because eventually, most of them die a slow death. They're on life support for many years. If it were not for Linux server, then Linux would have died long, long ago. Over the decades there have been many discussions within FOSS to just kill Linux desktop and put it out of its misery. But there are these small bands of people that keep the distro wars alive. [/QUOTE]
