Linux fails because the creators are too arrogant. They want people to switch, but remember, those people were doing fine before you came along. If you want people to switch, compell them with something they want. All linux gives is problems and headaches. Even though I am a developer, I have never had to use the internals of linux, so the fact that it is open source is irrelevant.

What really kills linux is just the arrogance of the developers.




> They want people to switch,

Who do you mean by "they" in this sentence? There are lots of people involved in building "Linux", and certainly not all of them want or care about other people switching to Linux.

> All Linux gives is problems and headaches.

Not true. Linux gives me personally much more than that: high-performance comes to mind, and a good development environment out of the box too. There is much more, but since you are just trolling, I won't bother to make a bigger list.

> What really kills linux is just the arrogance of the developers.

It doesn't really make sense to talk about something that "kills" Linux - but assuming you mean something along the lines of "small adoption on the desktop" I will point out that Linux usage has been steadily increasing.
