This whole discussion has shown why linux has such a hard time

My understanding is that Linux has won "serious market-share" in the
server/infrastructure area, but has had relatively limited adoption
"on the desktop".
Right, in subsections of the market linux owns a healthy chunk. In
others it is a rounding error.
In the O/S market overall, linux is still a minority and not making
any significant in-roads. There are several groups/projects pushing
the linux desktop with much effort.
The linux community is made up of militias, when what it needs is an
army.
Why?
Because the fractured battles being fought are creating more
commotion than progress. This is evidenced here on a small scale:
battling over which MTA is best and the primary mortars launched have
been more emotional than technical/tactical.
