gold

http://blogs.adobe.com/open/2011/06/focusing-on-the-next-linux-client.html Opens with:

"Way back in 1999 I predicted a significant market for desktop Linux by 2005. (I was targeting better than Mac OS type numbers, in the 10-15% range.) It was clear back then that Linux had found a substantial adoption as a server OS, and it seemed only time before the desktop adoption rivaled at least “the other desktop”.

But if we are really beginning a post -pc era with mobile browser growing faster than anything, it makes perfectly sense.

Windows 8 is already there with nice new features (booting in seconds my favorite, not really its Metrosexual UI) and Apple plataform is growing as fire on dry forest, seems that the Linux Desktop just lost its mojo.; September 18, 2011 at 2:40 PM
Anonymous said...: Don't know that Linux desktop ever really had mojo. As you can see from the graph on that site and plenty of others, it has hung around the 1% range indefinitely. The lost mojo derives from aging tech writers being replaced by a new generation. Non-geeks never wanted anything to do with Linux, save for a 6-12 period during the late 90s and maybe once again when Ubuntu was fresh.; September 18, 2011 at 2:46 PM

Bassboy said...: I am quite honestly surprised that the market share of the Linux desktop has remained stagnant at 1%. I don't really care too much about it, and Linux works great for me.

But, does it mean that over the years Linux usage has never really picked up, despite the coming of netbooks and increase in desktop? It is really sad that all the efforts of OSS community has not really resulted in a tangible share. :(; September 18, 2011 at 6:25 PM
Anonymous said...: I am quite honestly surprised that the market share of the Linux desktop has remained stagnant at 1%.

Me, too, because that means they've picked users up from somewhere to maintain that baseline. I thought for sure that the advent of the iPhone and console Internetization that Linux would become even more marginalized.

Then again, 1% is squarely within the margin of error and a lot of statcounters seem to equate "Linux" with "Other/Unknown". I have a feeling that Linux usage has indeed declined but since the entirety of its usage is within rounding error it doesn't reflect in graphs.

It is really sad that all the efforts of OSS community has not really resulted in a tangible share.

That's because they've written little worthwhile and what is worthwhile exists for Windows, usually in a more stable, packaged form.

If you mean "sad" as in they've wasted their adult years since the mid-90s then I agree.; September 18, 2011 at 7:17 PM

The good times of software were those when each diskette byte and clock cicle was counted and programmers were forced to think with the fucking head and not to doing crap, using Visual Basic, XML descriptions for GUIs, or generating code out of UML editors or form builders.
I just remember those days of 2003 when I was using that oldy 12 MB RAM, 110 MB hard-disk machine with MS-DOS 6.22 and it worked really fast.
Today, with 2 GB RAM and almost 500 GB in two hard disk i can barely use Windows 7, Ubuntu, Fedora or anything and is sloooow. Horrible, really desperating. Even a text editor takes almost half a minute to load. Adding that the fact which is that my processor is 3 GHz dual-core and all the system draws 400 W from that power outlet. I just can't believe that.; September 19, 2011 at 1:05 AM
NT_Jerkface said...: Dear Linux Hater,

I did send you several e-mails about this in the past but they apparently got ignored. I hope that you will read and consider this, in case you actually never got the old e-mails. Or maybe reconsider it, if you did and just ignored them.

Your posts have become very sloppy recently. My blog has been on the cutting edge of new content, and so I think it is time to "pass the baton."

Not all LHB readers like my blog, obviously, but I seriously propose that we set up some sort of mutual link exchange. This would obviously bring "new blood" to my blog and cut down on the trolls here.

I actually used to have a link to Linux Hater's Blog, with a text such as "Tired of using your brains? Relax and hate Linux mindlessly for a while." (or something alone those lines). I would be prepared to bring that back, as well as removing all the banned phrases related to Linux Hater's Blog. In return, I expect you to mention my blog in any new posts. It doesn't need to get heavy "weight" or anything, as long as it is mentioned somewhere in every post and is permanent.

I really think that this would solve a ton of problems and I frankly cannot imagine why you would turn this offer down at this point. Hopefully, you will not. We don't need to like each other. Our two blogs obviously serve completely different needs, and I would very happily get rid of "sloppy" posters who just want to use memes and such. At the same time, I do recognize that there are people with brains commenting on your blog that would be better off on my blog.

Think about it. Nobody would have a reason to hate on either blog if both link to each other, while agreeing to disagree.

Excitedly awaiting your response.; September 19, 2011 at 2:04 AM

This is one thing that Gnome handles better. Even the Update Manager, when it launches automatically, minimises itself and sits in the taskbar.

Windows XP was a complete twat when you would be in the middle of writing a report, and the automatic update reboot prompt popped up in focus and selected Restart when you press space. Windows 7 is also annoying in that if you keep ignoring it, it eventually gives you a countdown timer of 15 minutes after which it WILL reboot without you confirming anything.

You're the one that claimed this behavior doesn't exist. Now that it's been shown that it obviously does you're shifting goalposts into some sort of WorksForMe(TM) by shoving in some caveat that default behavior needs to be changed.

False. I've left the prompt up for days with no forced auto reboot. The only times it will autoreboots is if you enable the behavior as it does not do that by default. And seriously as that source says its only a few updates of windows update itself that trigger the behavior if you set it to auto update. Boo-fucking-hoo; September 19, 2011 at 2:24 PM
Anonymous said...: Then you're doing something wrong. I've never had xp our 7 auto reboot ever.

WorksForMe(TM)

If you "shut down" your laptop by closing the lid you'll never apply updates unless prompted. Unfortunately, there's no intermediate dialog, outside of a balloon message that probably displays once, generated by an icon that is automatically hidden by the notification area manager unless you change default settings. If you miss that balloon message (or dismiss it because you don't have time right now and forget to followup), the next dialog you see will be your computer shutting down in 15 minutes.

Microsoft assumed that everybody would control shutdown of their computers through the start menu, and that's not universal. Also fuck knows why they'd set Windows Update to hide instead of making it blink or hop around like a Mac OS program. It's actually a regression from XP because with that there was a bright, high contrast, intimidating icon. Even if Windows Update is visible in Vista/7, the icon is so bland the user won't associate it with "this is important".; September 19, 2011 at 2:27 PM
