  • Literally can’t happen, at least not on the scale y’all like to imply, not in the way Linux is today. If your OS doesn’t work with a ton of peoples’ hardware at all, no wide adoption. Don’t pretend this doesn’t happen-- it happens all the time. I was never able to get sound working on Ubuntu with mainstream hardware. If your OS requires a ton of technical knowledge to get any basic hardware or software feature working, no wide adoption. If your OS runs any commonplace software in a glitchy, super-slow way, no wide adoption. Wide adoption of desktop Linux is just not going to happen until a distro has a well-organized, goal-oriented, QA-pushing non-profit such as Mozilla making sure it works for the masses, on almost any hardware.
