Have you EVER tried compiling some Linux distros? I have tried dozens on all sorts of hardware, only to have them crash or no compile properly
Sounds like the problem in those cases is you. Maybe you spelled something wrong. If you know what you're doing, Linux works, period.
(and it is no more "Mainstream" then it was then, Maybe a few percent more)
I wonder how many Android/Google phones have sold. Those run Linux, and they're pretty trendy apparently.
Every year I try at least a dozen times to use linux and the only ones that I can even get to work are Abuntu
Well, if the Linux world produced a distribution that even you can successfully run, imagine how many other people are able to use it and happy with a free, well supported OS!
Bottom line is, there are millions of Linux users around the world, if even a small percentage of them are developing for it, they're going to make progress. How many Amiga users are there, a couple thousand? A small percentage of that is... working on OS4, AROS, and MorphOS!
