      I just saw this - https://itsfoss.com/desktop-linux-torvalds … - why do we have these articles? Not a single desktop person was asked their opinion. Should we ask plumbers what they think about the electricity grid? #annoyed

      Linus isn't wrong though.

      But there is no rebuttal or even a contrasting statement from people who are writing desktop software. If you are going to make a statememt desktop has failed don't you think we should weigh in ?

      Yes I do. It's a lazy article that was really only ever intended to frame Linus' comment. That gives me an idea though ;)

      I write for @itsfoss2 and the LAST way I would describe Abhishek is lazy. I understand why it may upset people to hear someone say that, but in the end it's just a quote from Linus and an opinion at the end.

      My objection is that someone else is weighing in on an area of which we are experts. The link to Linus is because it draws attention. People are forever asking him to weigh in on things like he's a magic 8 ball. This isn't really about Linus, who I consider a friend and colleague

      Yeah you're right about how people lean on Linus like he's the end all be all of any conversation. But I really think this article was just intended to share is opinion and build on it. Not to push an agenda or opinion. Ya know?

      What's there to build on - it's been since March, what's the follow up? My favorite - https://www.zdnet.com/article/the-linux-desktop-is-in-trouble/ … but wait is it? https://www.zdnet.com/article/mark-shuttleworth-sees-increased-demand-for-enterprise-ubuntu-linux-desktop/ … - of course, Steven beseeches the Linux Foundation for support for Linux Desktop. #annoyed

          In this case, someon wrete an article quoting someone, then said "There are too many choices available when it comes to desktop Linux and this is overwhelming to the new users to the extent that they just avoid using it." And then asked the audience their opinion.

          I gotta be honest, I don't see the damage in generating conversation around an idea and then asking for feedback...
