Ready to be published? LXer is read by around 350,000 individuals each month, and is an excellent place for you to publish your ideas, thoughts, reviews, complaints, etc. Do you have something to say to the Linux community?
First of all, we should agree on what the definition of "ready for the desktop" stands for. For some of us it refers to a graphical user interface in which applications have icons and can be launched in an intuitive manner without the need of complex commands. Even a Commodore 64 running Geos could be "ready for the desktop" by this definition, but the fact is that when we read "ready for the desktop" we understand "ready to replace Microsoft Windows".
Let's just bypass the Bayesian filter and dump anything with the title "Why Linux is/isn't Ready for the Desktop".
For that matter, why not dump:
"Why Linux Is*"
"Why Linux Will*"
"Why Linux Won't*"
Come to think of it, it's been a while since I saw an article the started with the word "Why" that was any good. They always seem to tend toward self important rants.
To be honest, I did not even click through to this one. The title is enough of a tip off.
I'd have done the same to "Why Linux Is Ready for the Desktop".
Sorry to be so negative, but really! ;-)
