> users will ditch the Linux desktop

Mhmm, this is what will push users from the Linux desktop. Not the billion other usability issues. I think this is a case of someone caring a whole heck of a lot about a small thing.

His first error is daring to assume there are users who will ditch Linux desktop.

His second error is daring to assume the Linux community cares about GUI.

Until advice and tutorials stop beginning with "Open the terminal..." there is no such thing as Linux desktop.

I know several who did. They get macs through work, and that was "good enough" that they stopped caring.

Personally I hate the macos desktop and window management, and prefer Linux on a few others things, so I'll keep using it as long as I can.
