Message-ID: <CAK2BKZxG840YUdjbqX4cRYXM-7axXCQrbD7EJbpC3c1-d=TfxA@mail.gmail.com> Date: Fri, 7 Sep 2012 15:39:19 -0400 From: Angela Bernard <agelbernard@...il.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Suggestions for the Future of Linux Peoples, we're entering a new era of tech - so let's get Linux going the way people want it to. 1: Remove ethernet support. Ethernet is just bloat - devices only have it for the stubborn old geezers. Other than that, no one really uses it. Get over it. http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/12/13/is-it-the-end-for-ethernet/ Who expects that thick cabling running through our offices? I don't! 2: Remove multi-monitor support The new way for technology is mobile. The desktop is dead, and Linux on the desktop has been deader than dead since it was conceived. No one, even on the desktop space, really even uses multi-monitors, anyways. 3: Remove support for multiple users - no one really expects a single device to be used by two people! 4: Ending optical drive support - when's the last time you ever bought something on disk for use in your Linux box? The CD, DVD and Blu-Ray are today what the Floppy was 15 years ago - obsolete and yet still in use - where you need multiple disks for one thing - And even most people's internet are faster than a CD drive. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
