FYI IOS and Android all come preinstalled on devices ready for the novices end user to use, so please dont confuse "usability" with "availability" and "Linux on Desktop" wont become commonly widely used until that novice end user can walk into a store and buy it. > Today, computers suck. I'm not following you here in which way the computer sucks? Desktop in it's sense is slowly migrating into smartphones and into the "cloud" which will serve majority of regular computer usage on the planet and that's a computer you carry around with you at all time in your pocket and you simply "dock" to hook it up to a keyboard mouse and additional larger display and a continues power source... That's happening right here right now and the battle is being fought between Apple IOS and Android and the traditional desktop in the sense as we know it, is dying....
