The article started off with a wild assertion, that "Purism is beating the duopoly to that dream". A duopoly on computing? Windows is still by far the biggest desktop computing platform. They may have messed up mobile, but that doesn't make them irrelevant.

it does if you're talking about two platforms converging. Be hard to win that race with one platform.

  • That probably means that Android is not converging with a desktop platform anytime soon, except for a negligable fraction of users.

    Chrome OS certainly isn't a part of any duopoly. Not even close.

    • ChromeOS is not part of anything, other than US school system and Googleplex.

      Contrary to what gets discussed on HN, its worldwide desktop coverage is even lower than GNU/Linux.
