I feel the same way about Linux. In global terms its such a minority

Dunno. Not much of a user base for a Lamborghini either, but I'd take
one for free...


I'd sell it and buy something else.

Wasn't much of a user base for DOS either till IBM built their PC.

Incidentally the whole desktop PC thing is in a state of collapse.

Of course since most mobiles, routers and servers are based on Linux,
you could argue that its got a higher user base than windows.


So which apps do you run on your router/nas/mobile that don't run on
windows anyway?
