I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a new machine last weekend and it was easy-peasy, everything worked like a dream, and it was fast. The Linux desktop is alive and well.
I agree that the quality is there. In fact, in some ways it is better. But, some dream of linux becoming a consumer OS competitor. I think that there is real reason to doubt that happening. I don't see linux fading away. Maybe its time has yet to come when the equation changes. I really do like Ubuntu. It is very impressive, stylish, and a lot more intuitive than many might think. I just can't get away with it as my primary laptop OS. I wish I could.
