I'm not talking about Linux
versus Windows,
Linux and Windows are not comparable: Windows is a complete operating
system, but Linux is just a kernel. I think you must have in mind
the rivalry between Windows and the GNU/Linux system.
When what you're really talking about is GNU, please don't call it
"Linux" -- particularly in the context of a GNU activity such as this
ne. We started GNOME so that GNU/Linux would have a 100% free
software desktop environment, which is why the G in GNOME stands for
GNU.
I'm talking about desktop vs mobile.
GNU/Linux is mostly used on PCs, but we want it to be used on tablets
and phones too. Thus, making GNOME work well on those machines is
useful. However, until the day people prefer to do programming on a
tablet, the desktop will remain important.
