For the 25th anniversary of the Linux Journal, Robert Young has interviewed Linus Torvalds again. Yes, it's the same Robert Young who is co-founder of the large multinational, Red Hat. This is a follow up interview to the one Robert Young, then a journal publisher, made with Linus Torvalds 25 years ago in Linux Journal. A lot has changed since 1994.

    And we're still waiting for the year of the Linux desktop.

    No. We're not. I go to meetups where people bring computers. I've seen Ubuntu and ChromeOS running on people's computers at meetings where the topics are accessibility, computer-based music, and software development. No one ogles at the Ubuntu laptops trying to figure out what it is.

    Linux on the desktop is not dominant but it's a player. Those who want to use it are satisfied.

    Really? Who has a bigger market share:
    * Linux on the desktop
    * Microsoft on phones

    I'm not knocking Linux (I use it on all of my servers and for all of my clients except for one who won't let go of the MS tweet). But a "player" it is not.

      Even Microsoft isn't able to sell you a phone with Windows on it.
