I’m not proposing anything here, I’m curious what you all think of the future.
What is your vision for what you want Linux to be?
I often read about wanting a smooth desktop experience like on MacOS, or having all the hardware and applications supported like Windows, or the convenience of Google products (mail, cloud storage, docs), etc.
A few years ago people were talking about convergence of phone/desktop, i.e. you plug your phone into a big screen and keyboard and it’s now your desktop computer. That’s one vision. ChromeOS has its “everything is in the cloud” vision. Stallman has his vision where no matter what it is, the most important part is that it’s free software.
If you could decide the future of personal computing, what would it be?
The future of PCs in general is tied to professionals and gamers, there is no need for a pc anymore in an household who is not anything of the above
Which means that the average PC user will become more and more tech savy, this is the only thing that could raise the Linux market share
On the other hand I don’t see a single chance of linux becoming relevant in personal computing unless a big corporation decides to offer an experience that is/has:
