What Linux Will Look Like In 2012 (InformationWeek)
I would expect things not changing too much in 4 years:
- Linux will be used in more embedded devices. OTHA, it will be harder to install
standard distro on vintage computers.
- Fancy desktops with cool 3D effects and transparency will be the standard in most
distro (maybe even Debian stable :-). I will continue to use Ion WM + Rox FM on my linux
laptop and my linux TV box (hoping they still will work).
- People will get used to WinWista wirks, as they have to WinXP. Faster hardware will help
compensating for slower software,
- Linux and OS X will continue to share the desktop minority crowd ( this is actually
optimistic,
since I believe now OS X is gaining on Linux ).
- Linux users will continue to enjoy the freedom and flexibility of their OS and to suffer for
unsupported hardware problems
See you in four years to see how close I am :-)
