“I’m sure you’ve heard the following from your Windows-using
friends: “According to what I’ve been reading, Linux software is
all server stuff and there just aren’t enough easy-to-use
applications for desktop use.” So they keep using Windows.”
“They’re right about one thing–that’s what they’ve been
reading. When mainstream media discuss Linux’s prospects on the
desktop, they repeat this statement over and over: “Great server
OS, no killer apps for the desktop…”
“There’s just one problem with the “No Apps” myth: it’s no
longer true. The apps are here–it’s up to us to prove
it.“
