You've made my point. How many people use Linux as their primary desktop or mobile OS? And that's arguably the world's largest open source project.

    Literally everyone who uses Android or Chrome OS, for one.

  • > their primary desktop

    You're moving the goal post. Linix competed with the biggest software companies in the world in the server world and won. We can do it again in another market.

    • I'm not moving the goal post. We're talking about a consumer OS (Android). Servers are a completely different ball game with an entirely separate set of tradeoffs. On average, it's much easier for a company to adopt new, unknown tech than it is for laypeople who are not tech savvy.

  • Enough. Linux has finally caught on. I literally never use windows or mac and life has been fine.
