Who cares the desktop UI? Most non-Linux people cares about gaming, from my limited observations. For example, my friends are playing DotA, what should I do as a Linux user do? I know I can use wine or buy CrossOver. But none of them can make I feel Linux superior in any sense. Worse if my GPU doesn't work well (though Warcraft III should be a piece of cake today) . Why do people go to other distros where they basically get alternative desktop UI and arguably better software repository and/or packaging system? Why bother? Yes, Ubuntu is more convenient if the user has a *nix mind. But how is such mind cultivated? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 Title: Microsoft has a majority market share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/clubdistro/+bug/1/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
