Linux has moved away from geekdom.

| So here we have one of the geekless persuasion who has gone and bought

| his decision was based on the merits of the Linux operating system. That

Linux Has Been Tick Boxed
,----[ Quote ]
| When shopping around for computers, Windows = Windows && Linux != Linux. As
| Stephen Fry has made a point of mentioning recently, Linux is merely the
| kernel. GNU/Linux comes in so many varieties and configurations that it is
| confusing the consumer. They consider Linux in the same way as they consider
| Windows and expect to buy any machine with Linux on and get the same
| experience on all of them, as you can with Windows. Linux has been “tick
| boxed”, just like Bluetooth support on a mobile phone, and manufacturers are
| sticking any old distribution on because they don’t know the difference. They
| think that Linux = Linux. They are wrong!

| Don't get me wrong: I still love GNU/Linux. It's just gotten. . .
| boring. It's no longer the undiscovered country, the wild west, the
| final frontier. Forgive my metaphor mix-o-rama. I just want to say,
| Linux is so ready for the desktop, it's boring.
