    "The Linux desktop is in trouble"

    - I believe that, as Microsoft keeps moving Windows to a Desktop-as-a-Service model, Linux will be the last traditional PC desktop operating system standing.

    - we don't have a standardized Linux desktop

    - major Linux distributors ... focused on servers, containers, the cloud, and the Internet of Things (IoT)

    - "We can get demotivated, uncertain, depressed even by negative reactions or interactions, and it can lead to developers stepping away from the project, taking a break or even leaving for good."

    I hope and pray we can keep the Linux Desktop (no matter which one chooses) alive and well.
