I've only been using GNU/Linux since 2001, so I won't say that I'm by any means an expert yet, as most of those that are reading this, probably have been using Linux much longer than I have. However, I still have high hopes for the Linux scene. The purpose of this article is to voice my personal opinion on what I feel is keeping GNU/Linux from taking over the mainstream operating system market. My intentions aren't to "badtalk" the open source kernel+apps, but rather give constructive criticsm on what I personally feel it could be done better.

Sometimes this has to do with the fact that the learning curve of making chances to the original source is higher than it would be to develop it from scratch.
On the contrary,altering the existing source if you know how to code is a lot easier than making all new from scrap,that is when most part of the source is properly documented.Starting from scrap means facing the possibility of the same pitfalls the other developer(s) already have been fallen into,which means both a higher learning curve and time investment.
