Sad story. Best OS I ever run was around 2002 NetBSD on a desktop. It is quite bad that Linux is the only viable player for an operating system on desktops/laptops. (With viable I mean has drivers for all of my my hardware and runs the software I need for personal and professional life.)

It's amazing. No fragmentation means more standardization. And Linux is Open Source.

With the same logic, Microsoft's dominance also helps the user in not having to choose between multiple types of systems.

If Windows was free and open source you wouldn't hear me complaining.

The reason Windows is so dominant to begin with is because they standardized stuff and people didn't have to open a terminal because of it.
