For at least a decade I've been reading about how Linux is going to make Windows or Mac obsolete. About how it's become so user friendly that the world cannot deny its presence. Unfortunately, the truth of the matter is that Linux still sucks. It's still not user friendly. It's so forked there's no guarantee of program interoperability. Major software developers shun it because it's cost prohibitive to develop for so many diverse platforms, meaning that there's no standard Linux platform. It's a mess, as is usual for anything developed by a "community". Somewhere along the line, many government officials have equated democracy with socialism. Time and time again we have seen that socialism doesn't work in the real world. It looks good on paper but put it into practice and it falls apart. Community driven projects do not work for the benefit of the general population.
