linux and the year 2020

A Space Odyssey, so I can call linux. Or, endless story.

Linux is changing ... but are you sure?
Desktop, so changes. Programs that are corrected, spoiled receive new features and functions, but the core of the system linux ... really changing?

Windows of people accustomed to a system that may be hated, but if the new version we do not like, we remain at the old, used, and it is good.
The kind of linux system is the same. Truth?
Well, no.
Versions with long support to the current version far different from being on time.
And it is not worth looking at web browsers, because they WILL updated because ... each update brings improved security. So, by itself, it means that the new version will appear in the version of the LTS. But for other elements of the system will be old. Does this bother anyone? No. Because everything works.
It's a bit as if to ask: is the game of 2014 is better than playing with 2018 years? Seemingly only as four years, but still, the difference will come. If you would only talk about the differences.
Of course, everyone chooses what suits him, but still, you need to be aware of your choice.

I am writing this because linux is linux. Hackneyed phrase, but it still stands.
Each distribution is a different approach to the user, and other community.
Constantly amazes me Minta community because it proved that you do not need to download and install from scratch Linux Mint to have cinnamon. I do not need much to do with Linux Mint Ubuntu to date, only desktop cinammon.
Fedora is obviously a specific community that has surprised users with Ubuntu or other distributions: Why not use their fantastic distribution?
Apparently there's a reason, for example. Fuzziness, no visible organize the community around Fedora.
Really asking themselves whether in Poland are users of openSUSE? I know that there will be some, but if there are a significant group. You know what I mean?

I read this post, you think to yourself: Why am I reading this?
And I wonder: Why am I writing this?

Maybe because linux as a system is unique. Novelty, a spark in the thick darkness.
And if linux will win a significant share of the market?
Sincerely?
No.
No, because it is not representative. There is no single, firmly and insistently advertised distribution, which united to all developers in the world.
Fragmentation into small distributions that makes you a different system will choose an older version of Windows-and rather than play in the tests, whether something works or not, and how it works, and how it supports, and what it's called.
It's a bit like learning a new foreign language. Apparently it is fun, but it's really a hassle to repeat words, sentences, learning phrases, varieties etc. Supposedly it's cool, but ... I do not know what to whom, when ever the person does not go to the country.
