I very seldom worry about other systems. I concentrate pretty fully on just making Linux the best I can.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Linux is its own worst enemy: it's splintered, it has different distributions, it's too complex to run for most people.
All the best people in life seem to like LINUX.
There are lots of Linux users who don't care how the kernel works, but only want to use it. That is a tribute to how good Linux is.
We all love Linux, but it's also a fact that some people might not be able to migrate.
I think Linux is a great thing, in the big picture. It's a great hacker's tool, and it has a lot of potential to become something more.
A lot of that momentum comes from the fact that Linux is free.
In many ways, I am very happy about the whole Linux commercial market because the commercial market is doing all these things that I have absolutely zero interest in doing myself.
The big problem that is holding back Linux is games. People don't realize how critical games are in driving consumer purchasing behavior. We want to make it as easy as possible for the 2,500 games on Steam to run on Linux as well.
I get the biggest enjoyment from the random and unexpected places. Linux on cellphones or refrigerators, just because it's so not what I envisioned it. Or on supercomputers.
Linux has never been about quality. There are so many parts of the system that are just these cheap little hacks, and it happens to run.
