Linux derivatives rule the mobile space spo in essence it won really big. The desktop is not that impoortant. And so many of its paradigms are quite dated compared to the mobile experience.

The mobile experience is in a lot of ways absolute garbage designed by incompetents.

That the dominate platforms have any customers at all just illustrates how mediocre the entire software industry is.

If software were medicine we would still be leeching people and learning about the miasma theory of germs.

Android/Linux could become tomorrow Android/BSD or Android/QNX, Android/Almost POSIX Kernel and only OEMs and people using undocumented APIs would notice.
