Comment on Please don't repeat the same mistake as Linux

Dnn@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

I won’t nitpick how Linux is a kernel not an OS but how is it not widespread? It just runs basically the whole internet…

The reasons the average Joe doesn’t use it for their desktop are convenience (Windows and macOS come pre-installed) and that you can run into technical issues due to bad support by hardware vendors. The latter is a chicken/egg problem and will possibly never be resolved.

Anyway, I disagree it’s due to the number of choices - we don’t need monopolies. Your grocery store is full of different brands of cheese and all of them still stay on business.
