Just read another "forget desktop Linux" piece by a writer trying to cover Free software on a sight ostensibly doing the same. This is exactly the sort of thing I wrote about in a recent blog entry, and it's sad to see it continue.

First off, "world domination" is not the only metric, nor the most useful one in every case. We have tens of millions of users around the world and I'm sure they'd appreciate it if we didn't forget them. I am one of them, and I know I certainly feel that way. You may be as well.

There's another aspect to that article: it suggests concentrating on mobile. Now .. where have I heard that before? Oh, right: everyone saying the desktop is dead, long live the web, we should focus all our efforts there.

Here is a KDE developer getting the current state of the desktop and the best approach to it for Linux absolute, positively 100% right.

No way, this guy is totally full of it. The desktop is dead. We need to concentrate all our efforts on the web. You should all just toss out your obsolete desktop systems, and learn to start programming web pages on your cellphone.

In other news, this forum isn't about Linux at all, it's about bathroom tiles.

I thought so too, I didn't see any flying pigs either.

Just remember the famous saying "The dogs bark, the caravan walks along". My desktop is 100% GNU/Linux since 2001. My company (http://www.microlinux.fr) is selling free enterprise software solutions to professional clients. The Enterprise Desktop is based on Debian Squeeze and KDE4. Which rocks, by the way, and not the faintest idea why it should suddenly come to a halt. Huge pat on the shoulder, Aaron, and keep up the good work.

@TA, Obviously you haven't seen the one flying right above your comment. :-)

You don't mean This Pink Elephant Do you?

Of course you knew Khamul is being sarcastic, he is a big enthusiast of KDE.
