Prioritizing bugs to boost Linux adoption
What are the problems that need to be solved to boost Linux adoption? And in what order? If we get the order right, we can make more users happier faster, says Scott Ritchie.
Ritchie starts by looking at bugs in Wine. After 16 years in development (give or take), Wine is pretty good, but it still can’t run all Windows applications perfectly. It runs some very well, and some not at all. But it’s not yet where users can simply run their Windows apps on Linux.
Ritchie looks at the bugs that Wine needs to solve before being able to run all Windows applications, and estimates about 10,000 bugs before it will be complete.
