Linux desktop domination "just a matter of time" (DesktopLinux)
Linux desktop domination "just a matter of time" (DesktopLinux)

You know, I'm not sure when the first time I heard someone influential say that Linux was going to dominate the desktop someday, usually someday soon. But I can say that it was a long time ago. I actually agree with the idea that this will come true someday. I, however, am thinking in the 215-25 years from now range.
Hope I'm wrong.

From my perspective, whether Linux comes to "dominate" the desktop or not is irrelevant. I can get all the work I need to do done on Linux today, without a penny of my money going to Microsoft or Apple. And more importantly, so can my computer-phobe 65+ year old in-laws, thanks to Ubuntu.
