Labour does not want to give the Libs any reason to point any fingers should 'something' happen open Christmas. That can be the only half-arsed reason for this farce. The rest are all full-arsed horseshit as everybody, including Labour, knows.

Facts just don't matter anymore, if they ever did.

One could hope the whole thing gets canned after Labour wins in May.
And one of the biggest reasons here is package management - the rpm, Deb , Pacman split is one of the biggest divides. I don't know if I should add APK to this list.

We had a chance to fix it in the new world, but it's gone back to a zeroinstall versus flatpak versus snap vs Deb vs rpm vs Pacman ecosystem.

Lets see if Docker CNAB and systemd push this ecosystem forward.

I actually agree with everything you wrote there and have also switched some of my relatives over to a linux desktop. Unfortunately, a technical relative willing to set everything up isn't a practical path towards popular adoption. You have described the linux desktop as a viable alternative to Windows, but you haven't shown any incentive for someone to switch. I think the Linux desktop is a superior experience, but if it doesn't come preinstalled and preconfigured on commercial computers there is just no scenario where the average user will even get to use a linux desktop.

This is correct. The nominally center-left party in Australia, the ALP, voted with the center-right Coalition to get this passed. On the edges of the left and the right there were voices against this, but the center (where the most people are) went with backdoors.

The idea of a Linux Desktop is about 10 years too late now and fading fast.

I'm using Windows 7 on a desktop built in 2012 and I have no impetus to change. My wife has abandoned her desktop for an iPad Pro, which she uses at work extensively. The only thing she needs a desktop for is Excel, which she uses hardcore.

The only application I run on my desktop these days is Chrome/Firefox. Other than that I'll run Sublime because I'm a programmer, but there's nothing else I really need. Everything else is on my iPhone.
I guess each person's usage would change their view on this, but I actually do think it's better. You've got the rock solid shell that Unix popularized, repositories of software that's just a command away to install, dependencies handled for you across all your packages, and things are generally able to work together better due to software freedom and a community of tinkerers. If you're running firefox and an office suite, maybe you don't care too much about your operating system, but I definitely think there is some importance to it. Maybe something like a shell and the tools you run in it would be counted under "apps" for you, but to me it feels a little different.

In my experience the real barrier to regular users adopting Linux has been Microsoft Office. The UI is not a big impediment but when it comes to "How do I send and receive word/excell documents?" That's where the wheels fall off.

Sure there are work arounds and other formats etc but for most people that is just too much hassle.

Tiling WMs really are awesome. After I got the hang of i3wm, I immediately wondered why this whole paradigm had been hidden from me, and why it wasn't integrated more in the bigger desktop environments. Being able to move window focus and windows themselves from the keyboard is fantastic. Having things resize neatly instead of having to manually do it yourself is great too.
This happens all the time. And I don't understand the reason for it. Companies are incentivized to understand that I have already bought something and then NOT have to spend on advertising the same thing to me. Yet they do. No idea why.

In the early days Android had a very poor user experience, and Google didn't put much effort into changing that for the first few years. If you wanted a useable Android phone you'd buy from HTC or Sony who had a more user friendly UX, so in a way fragmentation helped there.

Nowadays the experience is more mature, but even so a Samsung device has a very different feel from a Pixel or Xiaomi device, even though under the hood they can all be running Android Pie.
Git is easily (edit: one of) the best version-control software available, hands down. But, you can't deny that it's very difficult to use. There's an incredibly steep learning curve and the software is very unforgiving.

This can be argued to be a good thing (git just gives you the tools to shoot your own foot), but for an average user, a DE needs to be easier to use than git.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, git is great for experienced users, but most users don't want to have to be experienced just to use a computer.
Never heard about this kind of issues, can you share specific ones you had?
>If you don't build software, you have pretty much zero incentive to use a linux desktop

I've heard this before, but I never really understood why people think it. I've always had an interest in computers, but I think there's a huge jump in difficult and complexity from using a less popular operating system to creating your own software. I consider programming to be extremely difficult. Using GNU/Linux is just something new. Once you overcome the initial discomfort of it not being like whatever you're used to, it's just fine. It's fun, even.
Google uses "gsutil" and "gcloud" whereas AWS just uses "aws". Both are clear but because Google arbitrarily has 2 tools I constantly have to remember which one had which feature.

This is mostly a non-issue with LibreOffice, unless you work with the advanced features of the Office programs (most people don't). Sure, the UI isn't as good, but I don't think that's the biggest barrier to adoption, or even close to it.
Poor sleep or suspend support is much worse.
It is. It has the same problems with everyone having different UI tweaks, but at least the base Android comes with _some_ UI. Fragmentation isn't that big of a problem for users, because there's only so much you can do on a phone - between your photo album, contacts app, web browser and social media, any kind of UI will do. It also helps that most popular apps ship their own UI.

This is really good. Reformat it and turn it in to a book. Market it as essential reading for anyone running or thinking about running kubernetes or vault.

There are still things you can't do with the web platform alone. WebAssembly is still in its infancy, and not everything is really figured out yet. In this case, it looks like they're held back by the lack of proper threading:

>However, we’re closely tracking the evolution of WebAssembly (especially threading). Stay tuned!

It seems reasonable to get this program out and running today and move it over to WebAssembly in the future. One of the alternatives would've been to deliver a native app to every platform, but Chromium is already a native app that runs on many platforms that you can compile yourself, and then you get a security sandbox for free. Seems a better to me, frankly, especially in a world where many "desktop" apps just ship with Chromium anyways.

Every desktop distro needs to have a "Home User" GUI configuration option either as a default or an option during the setup. This should emulate the UX of either Windows or MacOS as closely and as shamelessly as possible.
I would personally also have the view that Desktop Linux is superior. But the problem is it's superior in a not-exciting way. Not-exciting is exactly what I want. It accomplishes everything needed in a low-key way.

But the thing is the average person get no boost of endorphins for installing Linux. They can do what they did before just fine but there's no literal or metaphorical explosion of stars. And means they'll abandon the effort after a while.
The title is not just click-bait, it's flat-out wrong. Instead of failing it's become even more successful over the years, because of the efforts of thousands of maintainers and developers. The recent support/endorsement from Valve is just another success story. And Linus is not the only one who's identified several competing major software projects as the main culprit for Linux desktop lacking traction in the past years.

I'm surprised though, that systemd was adopted unanimously almost immediately on every major distribution over classic Init despite lots criticism and protests. But they can't agree on which GUI is best for a Linux desktop? Why is that I wonder?
That's fair. I updated my post to reflect that.
I would think your assessment is correct for approaching things at first glance but I would say the people who abused me were "corrupt" at the end of the day. Not sure if that is the best word but I'll use it. I took it as far as possible for me to examine if they were corrupt and came to this conclusion. You're corrupt when the other person who has been traumatized by you (unjustly as well), goes through a lengthy processes of doing whatever is legally possible to illustrate the abuse and you choose to deny it. I found out the hospital, the university police and even the fbi would rather me not have any remedy to the torture I went through and for their illusions to not be shattered. Even my insurance that was billed wouldn't do anything when I reported it. HIPAA was even violated as the hospital lawyer had access to my complete medical history without my consent. I reported that and I doubt the government agencies did anything. Born with faith in the system, as I would prefer the logic of systems to emotional individualists. Yet, I learned the systems are completely broken for the wealthy.

You aren't, and you won't be. Companies did an end run around user freedoms by turning everything into a service. You neither own nor control the software you run in the browser, and neither do you own the data. Replacing an OS won't help you if it's only serving as a bootloader for Google Chrome; if you want independence, you need to prefer locally executable software (which is becoming harder by the day).
Indie Game business: now 15,000 times harder
I'm so glad I come to the comments.
The amusing thing is that Microsoft blew it. Windows 7 was generally considered good, but Windows 8 and 10 are widely acknowledged to be awful. Windows 8 tried to make a desktop
work like a tablet. Windows 10 has intrusive ads and data collection. Most of corporate America would rather stay on Windows 7.

Linux on the desktop works just fine. I've been using it almost exclusively for five years now. I also have several notebooks using it. It's less trouble than Windows. This should be Linux's moment on the desktop.
Android took off when we had HTC sense, Samsung touchwiz and others, almost no one was running the stock UI. But if KDE and GNOME and others were all running on GTK you'd still probably call it fragmented.

There's no consistency between apps on android so you don't notice it as much.

And by not day trading you're not gambling? Let's just call it betting. What stance are you promoting that is "not betting"?
Which is what a lot of people have been saying for a very long time.
Yes, but apps (for the most part) run consistently across all Android phones. There are multiple UI's but a "single" API. Desktop Linux is fragmented at a much deeper level than just what they look like.

This adds a lot of unnecessary complexity to the Linux desktop experience for developers and that ends up affecting the end users more indirectly.
Meh, I like being independent in this particular dimension. I use Firefox but that's another aspect. Obviously, Linux is "the revolution" but that doesn't mean it doesn't change on particular aspect of my existence.
Not really, GNU existed for a while before Linux and Linus' kernel slotted into the missing hole in GNU (since Hurd _really_ wasn't ready and likely won't ever be). So I would argue that Linus chose to build an operating system, and ended up with focusing on a kernel because the rest of the system already existed.

The BSDs (and Solaris) all branched from the original Unix tree, and thus have historically always just been a full OS. GNU was trying to do the same, but from scratch and as free software, but Linux came about just as GNU was getting very popular (people would replace the proprietary Unix utilities with the GNU ones).

Also, the BSDs and Solaris all use GNOME or KDE -- which aren't developed solely by those people. I think this is quite reasonable actually, since desktop environments really shouldn't be tied to a single Unix-y OS.

+1 to "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius.
I wonder if the question of whether we are alone in the universe will be resolved first by us making bipedal AGI.

I figure that’s probably what I’m imagining when I see theee videos.
Cool. HSMs are a notable step up from secure execution environments like TrustZone and SGX because they make side-channel attacks that take advantage of the shared hardware much more difficult.

That said, the HSM itself becomes a target after a while. So the more stuff you off-load to your enclave, the larger the attack surface becomes, and now you moved your problem over.

And I am further skeptical about how much this improves on the status quo. Apple delivered a secure enclave that was essentially a blackbox. Google delivered one and is open sourcing the firmware at some point (apparently.) Now, this is going to give us an enclave with open source hardware. But in a world where there are known, novel attacks against the integrity of microchips that would make it difficult to verify even in the presence of microscope images of a decapped chip, I'm not sure if this really gives us that much reassurance that the chip does what it says. And if it did, we would never know for sure that it is free of security-sensitive bugs.

I still think this is great. Again, step above SGX and TrustZone in my opinion. But, this article makes it sound like a panacea, which I don't think is the case.

(Case in point: people have successfully attacked devices secured with enclaves, including iPhones and I assume Pixel. Doesn't matter how bad ass your gate is if it isn't surrounded by an equally strong fence. These devices should keep encryption secrets secure, but they don't 'stop hackers.')
This is precisely what fragmentation causes.

> The PC I'm assembling is for an 80yo guy who doesn't trust the internet

Why are you setting this guy up with Windows 10 then, instead of a system that actually respects the user and has decent security, like Debian GNU/Linux? (There is an enduring notion that Debian systems are hard to install or administer for the casual user, but one might argue that it is 5 years out of date - maybe even 10 years out of date.) Does he rely on some Windows-only hardware or software of some sort - and if so, could he run that on a dedicated, airgapped system?
This is why we can hardly ever know if a fish (which would care to remove the ink dot from their forhend after seeing it in a mirror) is more self-aware than a gorilla (which wouldn't) or a punk (who probably wouldn't either, and I respect punks) for sure scientifically. The matter of consciousness is outside of the domain of physical reality so we can never tell a conscious self-aware creature apart from a sufficiently complex mechanism when looking from outside of the consciousness itself.
> Why is that I wonder?

Maybe because"configuring" packages and services (main job of init system "users") is lot easier than writing gui applications. App developers use so many languages and frameworks (often with failing cross platforms abstractions) that it would be really hard to "force" them to use a common standard.
