Re: ARM wrestle

The whole "year of Linux on the desktop" idea came about in a time when desktop PCs were the main interaction most people had with computers.

These days most people don't own a desktop, although they might own a laptop, but the main way people these days use a computer is the phone in their pocket.

These days the worldwide majority of phones are running Android, which is based in part on Linux, so you could say that the 'Year of Linux on the ARM Desktop', came about where no one was looking.
