    It’s finally the year of the Linux Desktop! And all it took was an apocalypse, the rise of the fourth reich, (soon to be) two global recessions, and continuing unprecedented damage to the world order / faith in international law.

    Oh, and Windows actively trying its absolute hardest to make everyone hate it for about a decade.

    But hey,… progess! The more penguins, the better.

      Absolutely wild brand activation tactics from the Linux marketing team.

      Linux’s message to the world: “The I-Told-You-So’s Shall Continue Until Installation Rates Improve.”

      we brought this upon ourselves by failing to listen to the FOSS gods.

      A decade? I had a Windows ME upgrade disc - M$ has been at this for a long time.

        I had DOS 6.2 which blatantly stole stuff from Stacker, and Windows 3 which explicitly had code to make it seem like competitor DR DOS was unstable.
