Hello,
Sorry, the recent internet link below is in french. (28/09/2018)
I translate a little bit : The Linux system "cloud Azure" of Microsoft represents now 50%, and each month it increases.
As I written, Microsoft says that : "they are now a major actor of the opensource..."
Even the ex-General Executive of Microsoft, Steve Ballmer, who hated Linux, qualified it as a "cancer ", says now that he is a fan of the Linux system. The time has changed...
The article : www.zdnet.fr/actualites/c-est-qui-le-patron-sur-microsoft-azure-linux-39874301.htm
"Linux users of all countries, unite you !" :
Yes, but we are not numerous enough (in the consumer market), only 3%.
The desktops of Linux could be a brake to switch to Linux, (KDE, Mate, Xfce...) but TDE-Trinity desktop is really good and not known enough.
Maybe, the desktop of Windows is the only quality of this system.
For me : Linux and TDE are perfect, the winning cocktail !
Remains the battle materials (install driver) too complex on Linux.
Companies as IBM coud help the Linux community ? (after the disaster of OS/WARP).
Regards,
André
