Opinion: Wasn't 2025 the year it happened? Yes. No. Answers on a Christmas card

As Torvalds pointed out in 2019, is that while some major hardware vendors do sell Linux PCs – Dell, for example, with Ubuntu – none of them make it easy. There are also great specialist Linux PC vendors, such as System76, Germany’s TUXEDO Computers, and the UK-based Star Labs, but they tend to market to people who are already into Linux, not disgruntled Windows users. No, one big reason why Linux hasn’t taken off is that there are no major PC OEMs strongly backing it. To Torvalds, Chromebooks “are the path toward the desktop.”

      Fanboy? Facts are fanboy now?

      I notice people who say “bud” in online discussions are either trolls or assholes. Which one are you? You contribute nothing, hate everything, and use “bud” in a discussion.

      Yeah it all fits. Also, new account right?

      virtual desktops

      So Wikipedia work for you?

      Prior to Windows 10, Microsoft Windows did not implement virtual desktops natively in a user-accessible way.

      Yep.

      Powertoys could give you a simulation in XP but it really wasnt user friendly or worked, or even came with the OS.

      So quit your bullshit.

      And who is the fanboy here?
