Is Desktop Linux Dead?

- I do think it’s going to take a lot longer than many Linux evangelists are willing to admit. 5, 10, maybe 20 years? As cloud computing becomes so dominant, perhaps the commercial vendors will over a long long time, start to pull out of the Market.
- Linux on the desktop will be around as long as people care about it, and there’s plenty of people that do.
- Relatively small amount of developer effort being put into the desktop stack as compared to more server oriented things like the kernel.
okinawalinuxfan writes:
- There are enough Linux enthusiast and professionals to keep the community healthy for the foreseeable future.
- Many rely on Linux where it counts – Automobiles, Medical Equipment, Air Traffic Control, Stock Markets, National Defense Satellites, GPS, Manufacturing, and countless other critical systems that make our lives better every day.
Chris’ thoughts:
- Windows 8 will introduce the new Metro UI. Many end-users/companies may wish to keep there current hardware, and swap the OS to Linux.
- Vendors may find solutions like Ubuntu + Unity are their best route to avoid vendor ecosystem lock-in.
- New data shows slow steady growth, this seems consistent with an organically marketed OS: Windows market share slides in October as Mac, Linux gain
- Linux’s 60% share on servers (I think that is low too) continues to drive it to become a stable secure platform. This work is directly beneficial to making a safe and reliable desktop.
