mainstream desktop

IT Wire: "Neither Ubuntu nor any other brand of Linux is ever going to make it as a mainstream desktop operating system.

Listen to a roar of protests from some of the millions of Linux desktop users around the world. Very loud they are but in the scheme of things their numbers are tiny - they are a tinority."

TechRadar: "The world has changed in the last 10 years. Humans finally have hover cars, unlimited energy and a cure for cancer.

Well, not exactly, but Linux is almost ready for the mainstream desktop. Which is just as exciting."

TechWare Labs: "You undoubtedly notice that, although the functionality seems to overall be similar (with a few minor exceptions), everything seems to use a different name and/or is in a different place.

If you've explored more than one distribution, this may even seem to be the case between Linux distributions.

I'll be covering the more mainstream desktop environments, as well as suggested programs to replace the ones you've come to rely on in Windows."
