GNU/Linux Desktops with No User Knowledge Needed (Video)
Joey Amanchukwu is co-founder and CEO of Transforia, a company that leases computers pre-loaded with Red Hat Enterprise Linux -- a distro choice that may have been made at least partly because Joey used to sell for Red Hat.
There have been other companies that tried to sell Linux desktops and laptops on a "don't worry about a thing; we'll administer them for you, no problem" basis. Not a lot (maybe none) of those companies have survived, as far as we know. Will Transforia manage to make it big? Or at least become profitable? We'll see.

Why did Red Hat adopt SystemD? Red Hat makes money supporting Red Hat Linux. SystemD requires a lot of support. Adopting SystemD causes Red Hat to make more money.
Since Red Hat is the dominant provider of Linux, other distributions were forced to adopt SystemD, also.
There is some conflict of interest. A long time ago, Red Hat gave Linus Torvalds Red Hat stock.
Red Hat's decision gives short-term gain. Over the long term, adopting software that is not finished is destructive toward the entire Linux community, and the entire world.
Microsoft Windows will die. Microsoft Windows has a universal back door through which any change whatsoever can be imposed on the users. Windows is spyware.
The world needs a standard operating system. Maybe ReactOS will be the future?
