[Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share
Regards from Kaliningrad, Russia That bug is being fixed here partially by now, see below. Just to make sure, I visited some PC shops around and, to my surprise, found some computers with Ubuntu and few with FreeDOS (and, as consultant said, any linux distro from list could be installed for free). The fun is what some own Linux distro is used (AFAIK) by Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there is military Rosa linux (totally shitty from what I heard but still). If only we could make schools to teach students to use Linux systems instead, that would change the game. I estimate the prevalence of free software in education here as about 15-18%, maybe 25% based on what I see in university. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 Title: Microsoft has a majority market share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/clubdistro/+bug/1/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I am not an Ubuntu developer, but as far as I know, lately most things happening, happen in the background / under the hood (e.g. X11 replacement). And of course this might cause more bugs rising (temporary).

Most of those reports are YEARS old and still are UNASSIGNED. I found 2 bugs you are following which are older. One is Bug #304345: "File chooser dialog doesn't provide network access" - which is a duplicate of another bug which has been fixed. The other is Bug #971219: "Remmina Crashes with when connecting to some RDP hosts" which in reality is not an Ubuntu issue only. People write that it depends on the certificate on the remote Windows machine. And oh yes, there is a third issue that is related to launchpad itself.

Re: [Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share
PC and laptop times are not over, no, tablets and mobile phones are not an alternative. Alternative devices may obsolete a PC at many places, but: For those who want a PC or laptop if they go to a shop, they still pretty everywhere only find Windows. There should be some hardware that comes preinstalled with Linux/Ubuntu (and maybe not only the old slow hardware), but this is not the case (neither for the older hardware). So this bug is very clearly not-solved. It might be obsolete, if Android is used on PCs also and even the CAD users have there software running on Android also.

Let us ponder for a moment on the Founding Bug of Ubuntu. Now that Shuttleworth has accepted to port Ubuntu as the official platform for the Windows Subsystem for Linux. Maybe it is time to think about that "fix released". I know, « the world has changed », « we've come to better terms »... Microsoft does NOT change. You don't "come to better terms" with Microsoft, you leave your project be abducted by Microsoft. I think our fellow Mark closed this bug too soon. Too hastily.

bug 1 is a platform monopoly problem. In the case of Ebay, Uber, Airbnb, Windows, most people are on each of these platforms, because, well, everyone else is on that platform. Not because the platform is better.

Re: [Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share
Hi :) While this is still true and unlikely to change many people are using chromebooks, tablets, phones and other devices to do things that they previously would have had to use a desktop to do. Laptops have also become much more popular too. A few years ago some study allegedly found that 80% of computer usage is now done using tablets and phones. For tablets and phones gnu is king. Android is a flavour of gnu on a layer of java. Blackberry is gnu, and of course Chrome is too. iPads and iPhones, really anything Apple, is a flavour of BSD, which is another unix-based system = practically a sister/brother of gnu Apparently only about 1% of hand-helds (tablets and phones etc) use a Windows-based system. Windows has one major disadvantage in trying to run on hand-helds which is that it's a huge great big bloated behemoth despite their best efforts at slashing it down-to-size. It just about manages to cope on laptops but when they tried to push it onto netbooks it performed so badly that it killed the entire netbook market. We see some resurgence of the netbook market through Chromebooks but people are still wary of that form-factor, thanks to Windows. Windows are attempting to rewrite Windows to work on Arm chips, having recently abandoned their earlier recent attempt, but it's likely they will still need vast amounts of resources, such as one would reasonably expect from a desktop/laptop - and still not work on other form-factors. So wearables (incl watches) and handhelds, and chromebooks are likely to keep using unix-based systems, usually specifically gnu This bug was first raised when the word "desktop" covered all the form-factors that could be used in small-business and by families or other private usage. Nowadays the term "desktop", even if expanded to include laptops, only represents under 20% of that market.

[Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share
Hi I am Shazedur Rahim Joardar Ring from Bangladesh. In here the vendors like hp and dell brings up the laptops with Ubuntu or OpenSuse pre- installed but when it reaches to the peoples hand it got the distros demolished by the IT support people of the retailers and fenestra (synonym of MS ..) is loaded with some pirated software like photoshop, maya etc. This is how bad it is going so far. Since 2011 in here in Bangladesh, FOSS Bangladesh had organized 80+ events in the various universities, colleges and schools to aware the next generation-the pupils about the freedom or liberation they need in the digital world. We had also organized some "GNU/Linux installation fest" to give real end user support. We had forums in local languages in here in Bangladesh where the end users are getting online support in using distros like Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, OpenSuse etc. Approximately 500K peoples get noticed about their freedom, get the end user support and began their fight for their freedom in the digital world and makes sure it sustained since 2011. Now a days pupils of various universities in here goes to the market with pen drives with live distros and checkout the hardwares before buying them, if those happily working with ubuntu or not! This is how this Bug#1 is going to be fixed, someday near future. But we shouldn't get relaxed of thinking that, the Fix will sustain forever. We all need to raise our voice and make it loud to louder for our freedom. Every day, Every second of it needs hard labour for being liberated. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 Title: Microsoft has a majority market share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/clubdistro/+bug/1/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share
@Martin Wildam +1 This bug was never fixed. Not even close. And the word "liberation" was added later and I don't see any of it. Microsoft "loves" Linux? What about open source being a cancer a few years ago? Yes, they are afraid but, as always, they know what they are doing. We, on the other hand, do we know what we are doing? Letting things flow and say Android fixed this bug? Where I work we only sell machines with Windows preinsalled and my machine uses Windows. I am "free" to use an Ubuntu live session for troubleshooting purposes only. Sad But true.

This is simply not the case. Sorry for repeating, but it seems to me that somehow the original idea has been forgotten. And a smartphone is not a PC and a tablet isn't either! I do not know a single person using a smart phone or tablet as a replacement for the PC - in best case those mobile devices are used _in addition to_ PC or laptop.

Re: [Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share
Neither the way Microsoft will/says/wants bringing Ubuntu to Windows nor the rise of Android on the mobile phones is IMHO an argument to mark Bug 1 solved. Even from the usability of the basic operating system I think there are still to-dos left to make more people move to Linux - apart from the bigger problem of 3rd-party Windows-only-application lockin and dependency of formats that are Windows-only (only yesterday I was confronted with a QuarkXpress user and couldn't tell, what Linux app can open and edit them). I mean there are basics like this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/285493/how-to-show-full-date-and-time-in-nautilus-files-3-6-list-view - Not sure if everything fixed in https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/ubuntu/nauty-mods has found it's way into the latest Ubuntu 14.04 and into 16.04 (will check when it's out). Or like this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/792085 There are other annoyances and none of them will hold back those who know well about the benefits of Linux, but it may hold back new users when they try Ubuntu for a week and struggle with such basic things. And as long as users do not definitely request and demand for Linux they won't get it from the hardware vendors because they don't care if the users don't care.

[Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share
This is the time for this bug to be expanded and moved to any other bug-tracker that's not part of canonical group ltd. There are so many issues to be addressed, ie. "the company I believed for more than a decade is turning back on my principles" I understand that having a Linux container on windows is profitable for many people who's already running windows on their servers. But I must stand in the other side what about ms office running on native Ubuntu? At most we can struggle to have ms office 2010 running with wine libraries, but having power-point videos in this set-up isn't supported neither by Microsoft nor wine nor Canonical. This leaves us, the users and developers in a huge, asymmetrically driven race condition. At this moment I have the exact same feeling as being ruled by an authoritative government. The involved companies are operating in the same corruption of world states and their corrupted slug. I can't stand for ubuntu nor canonical any more, it is a huge disillusion. As a side note, I must state that the orthographic correction on this site doesn't like ubuntu nor microsoft but Ubuntu and Microsoft, so please give a thought about how linguistics influence our decisions, and if you should follow " THE STANDARD" or just give away. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 Title: Microsoft has a majority market share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/clubdistro/+bug/1/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share
I have to agree with @Mark Cariaga (mzc) The bug was never sent a proper solution. The reason is that there are a large base of software running ONLY on Windows. Wine is hard at this moment to be configured and there are so many things that can go wrong that never In order to be able to fix this bug, wine must be fixed in the same way microsoft engineers thought about. It can be done (see reactos for example ) but only with the help of entire community I have to tell that from some point of view, open source comunity was not so wheel organised in order to fix what need to be fixed instead of adding and adding more and more features. So, Microsoft can do such things like "Windows Subsystem for Linux" (ok some times ago was another similar project with small impact , Windows Subsystem for Unix ) ) and open source developers are not able to ? Is this for real ? Is this a non fixable bug ? P.S Why everybody in recruitment use Microsoft Word format instead of open document format ???

In 2013 Mark Shuttleworth marked the bug as resolved in Ubuntu since Android and ios have created diversity in the market which defeats the issue despite Ubuntu itself not having a direct hand in the shift.

There is a hardware platform - it's called Lenovo. It is built to be totally compatible with Linux, and sold as a Linux machine in many parts of the world. AFAIK every Lenovo machine works totally out of the box with Ubuntu. I just upgraded my Lenovo Netbook from 14.04 to 15.04 and will shortly be getting a Lenovo Laptop for my daughter.

[Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share
- Summary : The only strategy that could lead to GNU/Linux [Ubuntu] being adopted by a large number of users is to do what Apple has done with the Mac : sell specifically assembled computers with a distinctive brand (e.g. the Tux) and build a user-friendly brand-image through marketing. - 1. Harware compatibility is the number one problem I've been installing Ubuntu on friend's computers since 2010. I installed 12 different machines (4 desktops and 8 laptops). I had various harware compatibility problems on 75% of these machines ! (mainly related to GPU, Wifi, Bluetooth, ACPI (suspend), brightness, keyboard special keys, touchpad, kernel mei module and black screen on the first run). Plus compatibility problems with peripheral hardware (smartphones, printers, scanners, TV tuners...). This is exhausting. (And people are not won for Ubuntu : when a friend buys a new machine I have to do the job again.) I do it only because I am highly motivated. Highly motivated people are scarce, they cannot change significantly the marketshare of GNU/Linux. It is not true that ordinary users can simply download and install Ubuntu easily on their machine. This will never happen because new hardware are constantly been released without Linux compatibility. Ordinary people will never buy PCs to install Ubuntu on it. (Ordinary people never install OS anyway !) ***Ubuntu need to be sold pre-installed on 100% compatible harware.*** But this is not enough, people will not buy PCs with an alternative OS on it. People buy PCs with Windows because they know it and expect it to work 100% (or they install a cracked version of Windows on their new PC) - or - if they can afford it - they buy Macs*. *In the last years a lot of people have switched from PCs to Macs. This was a lost opportunity for GNU/Linux. But it is not too late. ***Ubuntu need to be sold pre-installed on 100% compatible harware that has a distinctive GNU/Linux branding.*** Let's call these machines Tux. There should also be Tux-certified peripherals or even Tux-peripherals. When these machines are available in stores, then people will have the choice to buy either PCs, Macs or Tuxes. Why would people buy Tuxes rather than Macs or PCs ? 2. GNU/Linux is unknown or has a designed-for-geeks reputation They will buy them if a succesful marketing campaign convinces them that : - Tuxes are as innovative, stable, user-friendly and cool as Macs ; - Tuxes are even better than Macs because they bring more compatibility with other systems and more freedom ; - It should also be clear that Tuxes are fully integrating with Ubuntu phones and FirefoxOS phones. Tuxes then should sell better than Macs because they will be cheaper. (Tuxes should be at the same price as PCs or a little higher.) Apple is the most successful business in the world. Mostly because they were very succesful in building a brand-image. We have the OS to do better than them.

Yeah a lot of things have changed. But what's not changed are the fact that a majority of Internet users are surfing on Windows. Yeah I remember reading this bug on a Symbian smartphone. The growth of smartphones and pads are certainly an expression of discontent with Windows, and a big blow to Microsoft. But a majority of the users are still on desktops running windows. I hope that chromeos will defeat windows on this battlefield.

RE: [Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share
Actually no. This was always about desktop. Of course the fact that many usecases have an alternative that works on android or chrome have made things better. But I still can't use Photoshop or Cubase on Linux. Personally I don't think we have fully won before Microsoft starts supporting Linux with Office etc. Of course replacing vendor-locked applications with open source are optimal but so far we have only succeed with webbrowsers. If Google succeeds in moving everything into the browser thats a win against OS monopoly but we should remember that Chrome Store are NOT Open source. But Native Client and PPAPI is so building an alternate store is possible and moving offering software in more than one store are a lot easier than supporting different operating systems.

[Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share
Shuttleworth may have closed this bug prematurely (haven't followed all comments..) based on iOS plus Android having majority over Windows. Anyway not important now as Android alone seems bigger than Windows now (including iOS and OS X etc - all others). @mwildam: although most people I know do have a smartphone (or two - a private one and a business phone) and maybe also have a tablet, ALL OF THEM do their main computer work with a PC or laptop. You cannot assume that most of the serious computer work is done from an Android phone or tablet. Why is that? And not sure it's true for all. For the global perspective most people probably do not have a PC while they may have a smartphone. You could say they only surf the web.. Programming for Android is even somewhat possible within the OS. Keyboard (and mouse) can be connected. QT works for Android and I wander how difficult it is to port most Linux programs to Android. My post on Ubuntu Touch to the mailing-list being a dead-end and Android compatibility being essentioal didn't make it there.. In 2013, Android-based devices outsold Windows' 2.8:1 (2:1 in mature markets) or by 573 million units (estimating the gap to widen much in 2014 and 2015). In India and other countries Android is the most popular operating system including for browsing the web; according to Statcounter; Mobile usage has already overtaken desktop in several countries including India, South Africa and Saudi Arabia[226] with several countries in Africa having done so already, including Ethiopia and Kenia (there mobile is 72.23%) See also: http://www.thedrum.com/news/2014/10/22/twitter-ceo-costolo- launches-free-mobile-development-kit-fabric-unite-developers-and -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 Title: Microsoft has a majority market share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/clubdistro/+bug/1/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

You cannot assume that most of the serious computer work is done from an Android phone or tablet. Why is that? And not sure it's true for all. Because Computer work is not only web surfing and email. Imagine a photographer, technical designer, architect, lawyers, ..., and pretty everyone working in IT - just to give a few examples. Imagine all the people working with branch specific software - e.g. dental technician. - I cannot imagine any of those working on a smartphone or tablet only. For the global perspective most people probably do not have a PC while they may have a smartphone. You could say they only surf the web.. Of course - somebody cleaning toilets all day long (and this example is not because I do not appreciate the work of those!) does not need a high sophisticated operating system and neither does a waitress! But do you want to build an OS that an IT guy and lawyer likes to use or do you want to build one that is likes by a waitress? - Both should be satisfied, but let's be honest: If you need to mail and surf the web only then it is pretty irrelevant which OS you use! In India and other countries Android is the most popular operating system including for browsing the web; according to Statcounter; Mobile usage has already overtaken desktop [...] That is no wonder - you should get also statistics about how many people are working in which branch and: I do a lot of web surfing on my way to work or to customers while traveling - reading (IT) news for example. But while programming or writing concept documents at/for/with customers nearly no web network traffic is produced. And guess what: Usability and software features are far more relevant to me in these situations! - So be aware that such statistics are partly useless if it comes to usage of an operating system. Please do _not_ reduce computer work to email, web surfing and chat! And I am still convinced that this bug 1 has been closed prematurely.

[Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share
It looks like in the latest ubuntu pre-release, all us users have been ignored in favour of more spyware and adware, which leaks info to the british an US governments, through all those useless lens addon that connect to all those websites. I suspect that this spyware will become a dependency and later merged into other programs. (I noticed that all ubuntu specific programs are all dependancies of each other despite not needing the others to run in most cases.) I also am one of the many people that have dumped ubuntu in favour of other distros because of this. I am hoping that canonical removes the spyware by 14.04, but I doubt they will considering they are a company and most companies don't give a stuff bout the users.

Anyway, the program needed the location tracker, but didn't want such filth on my system, and I eventually was able to satisify the dependancy of the program that required the location tracker by compiling the whole thing into a deb, with its data files blank. And ubuntu ran with no problem with the modification. The next oddity is the greeter, I don't see why that would need the whole desktop enviroment. Does gdm or kdm need their entire corrosponding emviroment, no. Both of which can run on Lubuntu, and kdm can even be shipped on a custom remastersys style livecd with no issues. Therefore there is no valid reason for ubuntu's greeter to require all of ubuntu. All this is, is locking users into what cononical wants, just like Apple and Microsoft with their OSes. As far as I'm concerned, Ubuntu is only riding on it's former glory, as it is quite likelly that if a distro now came out with as much spyware as ubuntu, they would be rejected instantly. Canonical has lost my trust completly, to the point that I don't want to use ubuntu again. --- Original Message --- From: LocutusOfBorg costamagnagianfra...@yahoo.it Sent: September 7, 2013 4:36 PM To: rodneyrules2...@hotmail.com Subject: [Bug 1] Re: Microsoft has a majority market share (I noticed that all ubuntu specific programs are all dependancies of each other despite not needing the others to run in most cases.) could you please give examples? -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 Title: Microsoft has a majority market share Status in Club Distro: Confirmed Status in Computer Science Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: New Status in dylan.NET.Reflection: Invalid Status in dylan.NET: Invalid Status in EasyPeasy Overview: Invalid Status in Ichthux - Linux for Christians: Invalid Status in JAK LINUX: Invalid Status in LibreOffice: In Progress Status in The Linux Kernel: New Status in The Linux Mint Distribution: In Progress Status in The Linux OS Project: In Progress Status in Neobot: New Status in Novabot: New Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: In Progress Status in Tabuntu: Invalid Status in A simple player to online TV streaming: Invalid Status in Tv-Player: Invalid Status in Ubuntu Malaysia LoCo Team Meta Project: In Progress Status in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in Arch Linux: Confirmed Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: Invalid Status in “linux” package in Debian: In Progress Status in Fluxbuntu: The Lightweight, Productive, Agile OS: Confirmed Status in openSUSE: In Progress Status in Tilix Linux: New Bug description: See Mark's closure comment here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1/comments/1834 -- Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC marketplace. This is a bug which Ubuntu and other projects are meant to fix. As the philosophy of the Ubuntu Project states, Our work is driven by a belief that software should be free and accessible to all. Ubuntu software is free. Always was, always will be. Free software gives everyone the freedom to use it however they want and share with whoever they like. This freedom has huge benefits. At one end of the spectrum it enables the Ubuntu community to grow and share its collective experience and expertise to continually improve all things Ubuntu. At the other, we are able to give access to essential software for those who couldn’t otherwise afford it – an advantage that’s keenly felt by individuals and organisations all over the world. * http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/our-philosophy Non-free software leaves users at the mercy of the software owner and concentrates control over the technology which powers our society into the hands of a few. Additionally, proprietary software stifles innovation, maintains artificial scarcities, and enables malicious anti-features such as DRM, surveillance, and other monopolistic practices. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry. Steps to repeat: 1. Visit a local PC store. 2. Attempt to buy a machine without any proprietary software. What happens: Almost always, a majority of PCs for sale have Microsoft Windows pre- installed. In the rare cases that they come with a GNU/Linux operating system or no operating system at all, the drivers and BIOS may be proprietary. What should happen: A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software. * http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html * http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines * http://www.opensource.org/docs/osd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/clubdistro/+bug/1/+subscriptions -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report
