You're cynical, and worse, in a way that is unproductive.

Lol nice one. Completely delusional, but funny :)

I'll happily eat my words if I'm wrong. If Linux reaches 5% market share for desktop use in the next year I will print this message out on paper and eat it.

And xp bud, Linux users are highly deluded about what makes a good desktop OS. Look at how many of them enjoy gnome 🤮

Lol you're funny

To be fair, just being a corrupt industry full of scumbags is actually progress when it comes to religion. Go back 100 years let alone 500 and it was more like its own authoritarian political party. now it's just hobby lobby with more private jets, and...well, that's a good thing. I don't ever want to have to expect the Spanish inquisition.

What exactly do you think would have won?

Humans are awful

Ermmmmmm...check the results

Death

McDonald's kills everything eventually

Fun fact I've been told by laywers in a different industry (software ie EULA and licenses): most of that stuff doesn't do anything. It's a front door lock. But it's ok because for most companies you're also restricted by what lawyers say is ok (oh no we can't use this "git" stuff, it's GPL and GPL is literally going to murder you in your sleep it you use it!?!).

Winget-ui (renamed to something annoying I choose not to remember) is pretty great. Does Winget, Choco, pip, and some others. Better package manager ui by far than the laggy garbage on a lot of Linux distros, even if you do have to deal with annoying UAC nonsense on the regular.

Truly 2024 is the year of the Linux desktop. no notes.
