Nah. Admittedly, in many ways I like linux. Having flexibility and control over your operating system is great. But it just has no use for either gaming, or development, or media creation.

Development mainly (at least) i strongly disagree.

Mostly underestimated imho is the fact that linux never was "meant" to be a desktop-alike system.

It was never built for dumbass shits snorting coke around the clock in the first place, so to say.

If you look back into history... especially the 90ies:

I interpret from it that it was more "designed" for "workstation"-alikes and "supercomputers".

In the 90s as a user, linux had even less value. In any system that is not desktop designed, there will always be special software requirements that can be made from scratch. China spits out OS for every possible electric device around without linux. Yet I have a friend who uses it on all his custom commercial systems.

Maybe. But really, its all I can see it being used for today. Outside of special system requirements. People who just watch videos all day. Which is pretty much all we use my linux only computer for at the moment. It was supposed to go into a van.
