Yeah, keep complaining about everything not being proprietary enough, while everyone who needs just makes it work (OBS, mpv, etc.).

Those 2% will appreciate their efforts.

Those who use it appreciate their efforts. You aren't using it, why are you even complaining especially with complete nonsense comments. Anti Linux shilling should be getting old.

Unfortunely I still have to, from time to time.

Luckly Android, ChromeOS and WebOS as proper Linux distributions have replaced most of it.

Android hasn't displaced Linux on phones, there wasn't any.

ChromeOS hasn't displaced Linux on school laptops, there wasn't any.

LG WebOS hasn't displaced "Linux", it competes with Google TV (formerly Android TV)

Oh boy, another Linux advocate on the lose.

So here goes a children explanation.

> Unfortunely I still have to, from time to time.

I, pjmlp, still have to use GNU/Linux desktop from time to time.

> Luckly Android, ChromeOS and WebOS as proper Linux distributions have replaced most of it.

Android, ChromeOS and WebOS, have replaced most of my needs, pjmlp, for GNU/Linux in the desktop and similar devices.

Great! I really hope you're happy with that setup! It's your personal computer and by all means, do what works well for you. In the end that's always a personal thing that's different for everyone. Who am I to judge how you use your computer?

But maybe ... stop complaining about Linux desktop then? If you don't like it? This must be like the 3rd time I've seen these types of single-line dismissive "Linux will never win the desktop"-comment from you in the last few days. Just one line, little or no context, or explanation, and IMHO also zero value, and an entire discussion derailed.

This is just becoming disruptive. You don't need to say anything you know. Personally, I rather dislike a number of things, but you don't see me complaining about it with one-liners every chance I get – and when I do say something, at least I make sure it's something of some substance, when I feel it actually contributes. And I sure as hell don't go around complaining people are "children" for disagreeing.

You can ignore my comments you know.

Stop wasting everyone's time.

Likewise, go do some kernel contributions.
