Actually, the better question is: When will they replace most desktop Linux programs?

If you want to keep building Linux and its apps with stone knives and bearskins, you can – more power to you. But, the future of the Linux desktop is here, and it's going to be containerized.

Nice job antagonizing your readers. This is insulting and totally uncalled for. I know that his job is to sell clicks but he has completely lost credibility with this one.

Its the register, their tag line is "biting the hand that feeds IT".

For a while they would produce playmobil scenes of stories, they covered Paris Hilton alot because she is clearly IT related.

They used to refer to Google as "The Chocolate Factory", so clearly everyone who worked there was an oompa lumpa.

There is usually some insightful analysis buried under the biting satire, jokes and general sillyness.

Personally I am still hurt the suggested DxC Corporate Slogan "we're not happy, until you're not happy" didn't win the poll.
