"The news of Con Kolivas, a Linux kernel developer, quitting that role, along with an interview in which he explains why, could and should make loud noises around the Free Software community which is often touting GNU/Linux as the best operating system one could use, and not just because of freedom you have with it. In the interview he says certain things which should cause tectonic shifts in the mindset that we have all been having. Why didn't we realize these things before? As you can see, the article intrigued me quite a bit, and got me thinking about a better way forward for the Free Software OS. I'll go through some of the basic points that he makes and lay out one possible solution and its implications. However, take this article as just a discussion starter." My take: I have been advocating splitting the Linux kernel up (desktop, server, embedded) for years now.

It's like they suddenly decided that linux failing its "year of the linux desktop" year after years has to be because of the kernel, and if the kernel is forked in a desktop version, everything will suddenly be rainbow and sunshines on the linux desktop.
Linux is defitely gaining momentum but doesn't follow the sureal expectations of some people.
