Distrotube comments on why Linus Sebastian is having such a bad public Linux desktop newbie experience and why no one is switching to Linux this year. In 2008 and 2011 KDE and Gnome destroyed themselves, and since then most Linux distros have been trying to put patches on Gnome to make their desktop usable, when it seems now like everyone should stopped trying to work with Gnome years ago. Gnome has made it clear they don't want to work with anyone outside the project.
the Free Pascal project still provides binaries for PowerPC Mac OS X, which is cool!
