Why Isn't Linux Mainstream? 5 Flaws That Need Fixing

With that, the author implies that it's of utmost importance to make Linux mainstream. Is it? I don't know and I'm not assuming.

  1. The Landscape Evolves Too Quickly

Not a flaw.

For example, look at the biggest name in desktop Linux: Ubuntu. They release a new version every six months where each version is named after the year and month of release (e.g. 14.10, 15.04, 15.10, etc). Contrast that with Windows (every 3-5 years) and OS X (every 1-2 years).

LTS. Debian Stable.

Stopped reading here because the author is clearly ignorant on what he's talking about.

Windows (every 3-5 years)

Apparently not familiar with Windows Service Packs or the multitude of Win10 OS Release versions.
