Why Open Source Will Succeed on the Desktop…Without Linux.
I have been a consumer of Open Source software for a very long time. Here lately, I’ve been having a love/hate relationship with (not only) Ubuntu, but with Linux in general.
Another event that first attributed to my new revelation about Linux was doing volunteer work triaging bugs for Ubuntu. I was truly amazed at the number of Bugs that go un-touched; especially in the ‘so-called’ Long-Term-Support releases. It’s like once they release a version everyone drops it and starts working on the next version. Many bugs are closed simply saying to upgrade to a newer version (often even recommending the user use unstable pre-release software) rather than fix the problem.
This is a huge reason why Linux will never succeed in the mainstream market.
