Anthony, you seem to be out there by several orders of magnitude as well.
Given that Linux represents less than 0.1% of desktops, my own assessment is clearly congruent with mainstream opinion. Linux has made no significant inroads on the desktop in the two decades of its existence. Unless there are some very fundamental and significant changes in the Linux world and the IT market at large, that will never change.
Not everyone shares your objectives.
True. Apparently about 0.1% of desktop computer users do prefer Linux. But the other 99.9% seem to agree with me.
