"I could not bring myself to go to Windows, of course. And one of the little-known facts -- 'cause, you know, I'm a skinny guy who wears glasses, everyone assumes that I'm an engineer by training -- I'm an old typewriter salesman by training. So maintaining my own Linux desktop was just something that I didn't have the training to do."
This is fucking pathetic, which shows exactly why Red Hat is not pushing linux on the desktop.
Red Hat tied itself to a losing proposition: Gnome. As a result, they have been unable and thus unwilling to push Linux as a desktop solution.
As the most visible Linux company in the US, Red Hat's failure on the desktop becomes a failure of the general linux desktop for the yellow press that passes as tech journalism these days.
If anyone wants to see what Linux on the desktop could be like they should look at KDE and Suse 10.
