minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink13•1 year agoLinux has already won the server and mobile. Desktop will follow.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•1 year agoServer was won pretty quickly as Linux became the only remaining Unix. Mobile was won because Google picked it as a kernel, however it’s at best a pyrrhic victory because the userspace has nothing to do with other Linux. Desktop also needs a specific event to be won, it won’t just grow up progressively for no reason.
