One can dream... Linux would've replaced Windows by now if that happened.



What sales force would have caused Linux to be the default on mainstream hardware?


I mean it is already ona number of Dells. If Canonical and Steam focused their efforts they could produce a reasonable offering. I wish Steam would not focus on an entire Distro and just focus on making a specific distros underlying OS usable on plenty of hardware. AMD had an opportunity to work with Steam and Canonical to plant itself as a serious Linux competitor to Nvidia too.


Google. Shipping Chrome OS.


Chrome OS is not Linux, or I should say GNU/Linux (although this name lost its meaning too). Just like Android is not Linux either.
