@nixCraft This is such stupid clickbait that I shouldn't rise to it, but...

Of course there is no one perfect window manager. We as people are different, with different perception, habits, needs, and we use our computers for different things. The fact Linux allows a choice between a wide range of window managers is a strength, not a weakness.

@nixCraft Journalists will always report that 'next year is the year of the #Linux desktop' because

1. They're non-technical, and not in touch with what technical people use;
2. They're looking for a story that sounds interesting.

For me, 1994 was the year of the Linux desktop, the year I switched from BSD on ARM to Linux on Intel. OK, so I'm relatively unusual, but today many people who use computers thoughtfully use Linux.

@nixCraft does it matter whether the majority of people switch to #Linux?

No, not in the least. Not to anyone. Linux is not a monopolist's world-domination project, it's a (very talented) student's hobby project that was in the right place at the right time and grew legs.

It's better for everyone if the software ecosystem is heterogenous; it incentivises standard protocols and data formats, and makes malware harder to spread.

So drop this lame, tired meme.
