I've ran into too many articles about Linux desktop lately. They often named - Is this the year of Linux?, The future of Linux desktop, Linux desktop versus Windows, Dumping Vista for Linux, etc...
I am making a living using Linux. I compile, build, hack Linux almost everyday. Don't get me wrong. I love Linux. It's stable, configurable, easy to admin. I am just tired of hearing about Linux desktops.
To be honest, I don't really care about the future of Linux desktop. Maybe I am selfish. I guess I am in a comfort zone with Linux running on the server end. I don't like Linux loosing focus. That's how I also feel about the huge number of distributions out there. Why? Why wasting your time on that but instead of focus on just a few distributions?
Going to the desktop direction, to me, is the popularity contest. I rather stay out of it. I enjoy the Apple vs Microsoft commercials.
