Yeah but folks around here like to stick their heads in the sand when reminded that this is a very real and concerning barrier to adoption of desktop Linux. It could happen 1000 times and they’ll still scream that it’s either user error or even worse “it works on my machine”.

Until the Linux community stops pretending and accepts that these are real issues and they need addressing, it will never be the year of the Linux desktop.

Maybe not for everyone, but it will never be the year of the Windows Desktop for everyone either.

      No it wasn't. Only in your head

        Over 90% of desktops had Windows back then. So yea, that's everybody. Unless you're being pedantic because one guy was using IRIX on an SGI workstation, or the odd Mac.
