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.
The issues will sort themselves out. They always have. You seem to think the Linux community is blind to the issues that affect its adoption. They are not. What is frustrating is when people assume the role of armchair critic and naively believe they have the solutions to the problems when in reality they don't.
