Really, the reason desktop Linux isn't popular is:

1) A few things still don't work. Vanishingly few now but still a few.

2) Linux can't be simply as good as Windows or MacOs, it would have to be better for people to make the effort. And it's not going to be better. I don't think "better" is possible now (not in a fundamental, decisive way. Lots of little ways sure but, again, I don't think that's what people care so much about). An Os is just a way to launch apps and we've kind of a limit on such goodness. My desktop Linux launches my apps, especially my browser and that's about it. I like being independent of the corporate megamachine but most people would not spend the hard two hours required for this.

> People don't want to be told that they have to make umpteen choices about what software to use if they want to use a different OS, they want a cookie cutter

So they install Ubuntu. How is that any different from Windows or Mac (where one still can go onto the internet and download a multitude of choices of software).

The real answer is that ordinary users don't install OSes. 'Fragmentation' (real or imagined) is a red herring.

Why don't you like Rednecks? Serious question.
But c5d, m5d, r5d and other instance types use Nitro and have "local NVMe-based SSD storage" just like i3. Doesn't that contradict your entire point?

If you picked a r5d, and either gave it a larger piece of the local SSD pie or replaced the local SSDs with larger capacity ones, you would essentially get the i4 that I've been calling for. I'm sure it's more complicated than that, but I would be surprised if technical roadblocks were the main reason why this hasn't happened yet, rather than e.g. lack of customer demand.
Linux not gaining majority maindshare on the desktop may have something in common with why Chrome has gained just that in browser space, i.e., getting bundled in or preinstalled. The vast majority of PC/laptop users will not have a compelling reason to change the OS that comes preinstalled with their computer, and that is almost always Windows. If Linux can find an OEM to massively push it out on a range of machines (not just targetted at developers), then we'll see the tide turn, but I suspect OEM will fear the wrath of the behemoth...

How would it change anything? Stock Ubuntu, Stock Fedora, Stock Red Hat, Suse Enterprise Linux at least all ship Gnome Shell as the default desktop.

Don't forget to review calculus as well. Khan Academy is a good start for learning about single variable calculus (http://www.khanacademy.org), but their content on multivariable calculus is a bit lacking (neural networks / deep learning use the concept of the derivatives and the gradient a lot). A good supplement for multivariable calculus would be Terence Parr and Jeremy Howard's article on "All the matrix calculus you need for deep learning": https://explained.ai/matrix-calculus/index.html

I have tried both with quite complicated applications and I have to say that I prefer tailwind.

With PostCSS in your pipeline, you can add the tailwind plugin and start composing CSS. This way, you can use your configuration even in places where you are required to write CSS (e.g. for transitions or media queries):

@screen xs {
.item {
@apply border-b border-blue-darker;
transition: background-color 0.2s;
}

> If you don't build software, you have pretty much zero incentive to use a linux desktop, especially when factoring in the monumental software compatibility hurdles for non-technical users.

I respectfully disagree. Ubuntu really works well for a lot of non-technical folks. A few of my non-technical family members run Ubuntu variants and have remarked at how much better it is than their old Windows 10 install. I don't think they'll be going back.

Unless you've got strange hardware like a Mac, Linux for the most part "just works" these days.

The biggest barrier to desktop Linux for your average citizen is that the advantages of FOSS, stability, and cost just aren't enough against the disadvantages of Windows. If Microsoft started charging people $1500/year to run desktop Windows, you'd see a lot of people look for alternatives.

From a layperson's perspective, it seems like they are tackling some of the same ideas (separation of state && computation, applying optimisation techniques used in functional world, etc).

> But if you think of "Year of the Linux Desktop" as the point in time where you can get the Windows-using masses to switch

The last years of Unity were the best point I can remember. Final Unity versions looked and felt like a perfect cross between Windows 7 and macOS so I had no problem just giving a person with no Linux experience an Ubuntu laptop and seeing them using it happily with no questions or complains. The only problem with Linux desktop to come into my mind were lack of Adobe Photoshop (GIMP is not a perfect match) and limited selection of games.

This is true, but a good chunk of marketing will also be required as, by default, people will instantly believe the "alternative" to Windows is a worse imitation. After all, if it's the same as Windows, why not just run Windows?

So, it would have to be spun in the right manner as an upgrade as opposed to an alternative.

This experience is very common. Eventually, people have had to essentially decide to either "burn the ships" and live without the thing they need or give up and live with the pain of Windows.

The good part is that over the past couple decades, the things that require Windows has become vanishingly small. Almost everything can be done on Linux these days.

Exactly. What is the react/vue/html/css alternative for this? Because when I look around, I find ways of doing it but people generally do not seem to use them so they end up being abandoned. There is no reason why it cannot be simularly easy, but, as far as I see, people using these technologies like to keep things complex for the design-challenged among us.

The Bitnami Kubernetes Production Runtime (BKPR) is a collection of services that makes it easy to run production workloads in Kubernetes.

> Linux can't be simply as good as Windows or MacOs, it would have to be better for people to make the effort.

I really don't think this is the reason. Pretty much anything is better than Windows, but defaults rule supreme and Windows is what you get on your computer until you pay extra for MacOS. Ordinary users aren't likely to change the OS on their computer any more than they are to swap the engine on the car.
I would argue that it was 2017. Desktop Linux was in a perfectly usable state in 2017, for many distros, and still is.
The fear over Chinese taking over the world is overblown. They don’t have colonist tendencies, esp on non Asian people. Why would they want the burden of having to subjugate blacks, whites, and everyone else??

The fear of China is a reflection of white colonist mentality. When viewing the world they see it in terms of what they would do, not as what other cultures realistically would do.

Yes I did think that when I said it (re sweden), but if they spend more by gdp why does it seem their systems have so many troubles?

I mean OOP is very popular so maybe that's where you are getting that impression from? That said, you really could make the same argument for functional programming on HN. I see a _lot_ of commentary much like the parent comment that touts functional as the obviously better way to do things. It always kind of rubs me wrong. If you don't like OOP don't use it and vice versa. Personally I prefer functional programming and use it when I can but I don't think twice about switching it up to OOP if that's whats needed. Just think that it's important to bring all tools available to bear (<= spelling??) when you are attacking a problem. This job is hard enough without succumbing to dogmatic turf wars you know?

There's a strong cultural bias against corporal punishment in the US, but it should probably be studied, perhaps as an option a mature defendant can choose in lieu of another fine/imprisonment, but is never forced to take.

If the practice actually deterred crime, without leaving any lasting physical or psychological damage – other than an aversion to re-offending – it deserves unemotional consideration.
It’s because the CEO making the decision will have exercised his options and sold them and retired before the chickens come home to roost.
> people will instantly believe the "alternative" to Windows is a worse imitation.

Why? I would think the opposite would be true, generally.

Right now in most people's minds there are "PCs" (i.e. Windows machines), which are more budget-friendly, and Macs, which are fancier but more expensive. Just put Kubuntu on a machine and sell it for more than the comparable machine running Windows and people will assume it's better.
The average professional website /web application looks more visually consistent and appealing than any Linux desktop, ever. No matter what desktop they always end up feeling weird and like the spacing is wrong or the fonts don’t match or something.

Put another way, it’s no longer hard to design brautfinand consistent User interfaces but for some reason that’s never been possible on a Linux desktop.

Linux desktops have always had a sort of Frankenstein feeling to them, clearly made up of a hodgepodge of boys that just don’t quite fit together.

It's amazing how so many smart people can be so blind.

I've been using unix and linux for about a quarter of a century. I cut my teeth on proper X Window terminals and Motif Window Manager (and NeXTSTEP and SGI IRIX workstations, etc, etc.) I was using firefox on linux before it was even named firefox. I've used a variety of desktop linux distros over the years, but I've never felt compelled to actually make the jump for good.

In theory I'm the perfect candidate for switching to a linux desktop but for me it's never been worth it. Yes, desktop linux can be a perfectly fine experience, but is it a superior experience? Every time I've made a serious effort to try out a desktop linux OS it's always felt like a bit of a downgrade. Not just because of all the stuff I miss out on like being able to run games and other software I like, but even well beyond that. Despite most desktop linux distros being pretty decently polished there are inevitably a few dozen little completely unfinished and often completely buggy or broken parts of the OS lurking around. It's like opening a door in a house and finding everything ripped down to the studs with an excitable nest of raccoons roosting where a bedroom should be.

The fact is, it's pretty common to have to do some rather serious "IT department self-service" when you try to use desktop linux, just in the course of dealing with ordinary trivial stuff like power management, connecting to wifi, watching video, etc. I remember the bad old days of X Window config nightmares: type in the correct horizontal sync frequency in kilohertz to avoid blowing up your monitor. Things are light-years better than those days but they still aren't at the "install off a usb drive and everything basic mostly works with at best some annoyances" level.

The value proposition of a linux desktop has to have a lot more to it than "you can have a kind of ok experience with it if you don't ask for too much" if it's going to get any sort of adoption. Especially in a world where the competition isn't just windows/macos computers but android/ios tablets and smartphones as well as chromebooks. Linux has such a compelling story in the server space, but people need to really stop pretending that they can just tweak that story a bit and push it into the desktop space, it still needs a ton more work to get there.
A sting which leaves typical, well-tracked target property in known problem locations isn't really manufacturing extra crime. (For example, it's not like the active entrapment of offering someone money, or verbal encouragement, to commit a criminal act they wouldn't have thought of themselves.)

It instead captures existing roving criminal intent – perhaps redirecting it from a less-ready victim. And when the bait is taken, an actual crime occurs – in destruction or taking of another's property.

And often, when a bust is made in relation to a single such crime – such as by tracking the stolen item back to the thief's staging areas or accomplices – evidence of other similar crimes is found as well.

Rather than hoping for popularity and the attention of companies, I think it makes more sense to help the plethora of free software continue to improve so that people don't have to be tied down to an operating system in the future. Emacs can be used even on Windows. Even if free software doesn't already support an OS, someone who cares more than the others can take it into their own hands to port it. This seems more sustainable to me.

NaCl solved real problems people had. NaCl allowed secure native code inside Chrome extensions and webapps, before Asm.js and before WebAssembly. It helped with removing insecure NPAPI usages (in the past, a Chrome extension could contain an NPAPI plugin![1])

Nowadays, NaCl is a lot less necessary. Many apps can run just fine in Asm.js and WebAssembly. This is definitely due to cross collaboration from the browser vendors, improving JavaScript performance and solidifying the idea of a cross-platform, safe, portable binary format that could be implemented by all browser vendors. That seems like a fantastic outcome to me, as an end user.

Other browsers could've implemented NaCl if they pleased. I recall Mozilla pushing for pure JS and later asm.js instead. In the end, the solution we really ended up with is a lot like a mix of NaCl and Asm.js. You could argue we would've gotten here without NaCl, but I think the end user is certainly better off without things like NPAPI plugins.
