No. Something with no marketing never beats something with billions of dollars in marketing and partnerships.
It’s not about marketing, it’s about trying to turn on surround sound, almost blowing up my speakers with static, and reading through pulse audio or Alsa configs for hours to do what an AppleTV just does innately.
Linux, and especially desktop linux, is a collection of disparate technologies by different groups with different priorities and it will never have a cohesive vision or responsive support.
I’ve had a Linux desktop on and off for over 20 years and it’s always some bullshit or another.
It’s always the year of Linux on the desktop if you’re a masochist.
Signed: a masochist.
I started using Ubuntu partly because all that just works
The distro that almost blew up my speakers(and my eardrums) just happened to be Ubuntu! Small world!
Hell, that would have been the case 10 years ago. Now that Windows is 'the default' for almost everybody, I can never see Linux taking that crown even if Windows never advertised again.
Windows was the default for almost everybody 10 years ago too.
You're definitely right about that, I tend to forgot how recent 10 years ago was...
