It's not the year of Linux on desktop; it's the year of Linux on a handheld.

    Apple has absolutely cornered the mobile market

    Is this even true? I thought more people used Android phones?

    Perhaps you mean in the US, I hear things are different there.

        I see what you mean, that is very impressive. Still, I think being a successful company still doesn’t give a status of “cornering the market”.

      Even in the US it’s not “cornered,” it’s 53% iOS, 45% Android and 1% other.

        It’s more useful to look at sales dollars in this context. Apple absolutely dominates in most desirable markets at its chosen price bracket.

      Mobile game devs are making their games with iOS in mind, because iPhone users are more likely to pay.

        Good point. I’m not sure what you’re arguing, though.
