Most people don't want to be some part of some weird community. They |
| 6 |
just want to use a computer. If they were looking for friends, they |
| 7 |
might try the local sports club. |

Linux has reached a point where it tries to appeal to users. You don't |
| 10 |
ask them anymore to go fix the problems. You have to fix them yourself. |

I believe any distro that doesn't adopt a development model where user |
| 12 |
support and QA are important, is going to die at some point. Linux |
| 13 |
doesn't seem to have gathered new users since ages; 2003 maybe? Or |
| 14 |
2004? No visible growth since then. With no new users, and most users |
| 15 |
converting to Ubuntu and openSUSE, there's simply not enough users left |
| 16 |
to keep other distros alive. |
