If Linux Fails, Blame Jim Zemlin

darthcamaro writes "Everyone asks who runs Linux — to which the normal answer is either Linus Torvalds or 'the community.' But (as Master Yoda once said) — There is another. His name is Jim Zemlin and he is the Executive Director of The Linux Foundation." From the interview linked above: "'I want to be a thousand percent confident that this organization will be around for the next 30 to 50 years because Linux isn't going away,' Zemlin said. 'It's everywhere, and there is no doubt that Linux will be an important platform in the future and we're only at the beginning on the embedded and mobile side. It will be my screwup if we don't have an organization that can help coordinate and grow the development of the Linux platform.'"

I believe Linsux failed a decade ago or so. Who uses it again? No one. What I thought.

Linux just doesn't work for Desktop, plain and simple! Only crazy maniacs, tards and people who used to have their money stolen at school by the guys that dated the cheerleaders, use it.
So, while Linux stay as a system for pathetic losers that will never date a supermodel, nobody a little bit mentally sane will use it.
Crawl back to momma's basement, the year of Linux desktop won't happen...
If something has to replace Windows, it will be Mac OS, and only if Mac OS becomes hardware independent...
