minus-squareerwan@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5·10 months agoServer was won pretty quickly as Linux became the only remaining Unix. Mobile was won because Google picked it as a kernel, however it’s at best a pyrrhic victory because the userspace has nothing to do with other Linux. Desktop also needs a specific event to be won, it won’t just grow up progressively for no reason.
