Re: Linux, Windows and desktop
If yes, when the debate started?
The Linux vs. Windows debate has been going on since Linux first hit the desktop; it will go on for many years to come.
A few points in response to your post. First, I am unaware of any goal of Linux, whoever that is, to surpass Windows on the desktop.
Most of your points remind me of my pal Jack who, when we were working on his cold car in my warm garage, complained that my wood chisel didn't work very well as a screwdriver. I replied, "Then go over to my 200-lb. toolbox and get a proper screwdriver!" My point is that if you absolutely, positively have to have gaming, then get the proper tool, Windows, and enjoy your games. Neither Linus Torvalds, Mark Shuttleworth nor I will be sorry that you now have the best tool for the job.
It may interest you to know that Linux is arguably already more popular than Windows. Chromebooks all run a version of Linux. All of the top supercomputers run Linux. Most servers run Linux. Most Internet of Things devices, routers, switches, et all run Linux. Finally, most internet-capable devices are not desktops, but phones. World-wide, most phones run Android, which is a very customized version of Linux.
If you need a better tool, get one.
