Red Hat CEO: there is no need to launch the Linux Desktop edition.

Title: Red Hat CEO: there is no need to launch the Linux Desktop edition. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

We have heard countless "this year" slogans about how to implement the Linux Desktop edition. Although the number of users in Linux has increased considerably, it still does not reach the level that Red Hat Linux vendors expect. Red Hat CEO Jim whitehirst even expressed his skeptical views on the Linux desktop version. He believes that today's Linux is still not the mainstream operating system.

Regardless of usage, cost, support, or other aspects, he believes that the Linux Desktop edition will not be able to make money for them. He even said that Red Hat has no plans to launch such a product. Although Linux has been successful in the server field, user requirements have changed a lot compared to the past, any idea of pushing Linux into a desktop-level application will prove silly.

It may be wrong to challenge Windows. In addition to the existing barriers, Linux vendors also need to predict the obstacles that may arise in the next 5-10 years. It seems that red hats are well aware of this and hope they will surprise desktop users in the future.
