Let's see how badly this ages:

The first mass-adopted #Linux #Desktop will likely be #Android based and/or #ChromeOS based.

@yuliyan
I'm curious what the metric for "mass adoption" is.

@DopeGhoti Right now we are at 2%-3% afaik. A mass-adopted linux in numbers would be something like 10% and up. Or, when it becomes a considerable option that non-techy computer users make besides Windows and macOS. As in equivalent in ease of use and productivity for said users.

@yuliyan @DopeGhoti if a few countries adopt ChromeOS for education it could easily get there. And once kids grow up using it they will no doubt continue to use it as they grow up.

@gpowerf @DopeGhoti To be clear, I don't hope for Google to expand ChromeOS. That would be a terrible choice for privacy. It's just, they invest in UX and this is key for mass success.

My personal vision is a mostly locked down ChromiumOS based system, with the ability to run containerized Linux apps but with focus on privacy and security. Just like GrapheneOS compared to stock Android. Mobile-grade security, desktop-grade ux. Wishful thinking.

Haters gonna hate.

@yuliyan @DopeGhoti I fully agree with you, but sadly that's not how normal people think. They think about big companies, they jump into the Apple, Google, or Microsoft boat.
