Really there is more than two items running tizen some very large.

History with the Linux kernel is the best technology normally does win out. Yes its a odd ball.

As I said number 1 issue. There are more than 1 issue why Linux Desktop could not grow. But some are keystone. Try doing support on a OS that can freese up and resume magically or could be kernel locked up.

The issues in the Linux video stack have been huge and painful. Bad tech can make providing customer satisfactory support impossible. Then your don't want to associate your brand with it.

Sorry the fault I point to with Framebuffer DRI and UMS are that bad with no other faults there was no way for the Linux to progress past a minor share.

Of course I am not going to say their are not other faults like lack of applications.

Please remember back to the time of feature phones those lacked applications yet still sold well. Firefox OS and Sailfish OS phones are selling better than Win Phones. Why both of them function very well as just a Phone. Win Phones doing basic functionality is a little harder than it should be.

Apps is only part of the problem for the desktop. How those applications can be provided is another. The changes to the Linux graphical stack effects virtualisation.

To the end user does it really matter how they get access to the application if it works?
