Will Ubuntu become the savior of Linux?

This morning I saw some news that made me feel uneasy. According to statistics, by last December, the ranking of iPad and iOS in the desktop operating system market has exceeded that of Linux. I can't believe this is a fact, A mobile operating system will beat the Linux system that has been immersed in the desktop operating system market for more than 10 years. I hope this is a marketing scam, but it turns out to be completely true, from the continuous selling of iPad, the news is not fake as Apple's products are sought after.

I can't help wondering how the Linux community can reverse this situation? As usual, I still have a positive attitude and the Linux community can reverse this situation, but now it needs help from Mark Shuttleworth and Ubuntu Natty Narwhal.

Many people think that Ubuntu will become the savior of Linux. Why?

Ubuntu 11.04 will bring new desktop-Ubuntu Unity. Unity makes desktop operations simpler and more efficient. It shows us new hopes for Linux desktops, it will surely become the next big event in the field of operating system desktop. Windows and OS X desktops are already getting tired of aesthetics, and Unity is refreshing. It is a brand new way to use desktops, but it is not a simple innovation, it does make desktop operations more efficient.

Ubuntu Linux is also a failure

The Linux operating system now requires further action by Canonical. With the help of 11.04 re-installation and close cooperation with hardware vendors, more products pre-installed with Ubuntu Linux will be launched to eliminate the installation troubles of end users, installation is the biggest obstacle to Linux's popularity among users. Ubuntu and Canonical are considered the most promising candidates to overcome this challenge.

However, the painful history of the past proves that Ubuntu Linux is also a failure. Walmart once sold PCs pre-installed with Ubuntu Linux, but users prefer Windows XP, and eventually Wal-Mart had to stop selling computers pre-installed with Ubuntu Linux, in order to keep history from repeating itself, Canonical must change its strategy and allow users to change their ideas and habits. My suggestion is that at Best Buy, Target, costCo and other stores provide pre-installed Ubuntu computers, allowing users to experience and play with the new generation of Ubuntu operating system, and attract users' attention at a low price. As long as the number of users who experience it increases, the conversion rate will naturally increase.

This is the only way out. If you think about what Microsoft uses to send Windows to every family, you can be sure that Microsoft does not rely on the reliability and security of the operating system to attract users, if Linux has become as popular as Windows, there may be no need for so many consulting companies in the world, and many anti-virus and anti-malware tools will emerge, microsoft has sent the operating system to the user, so they have succeeded. To get the same level of acceptance for Linux, you must adopt the sales strategy sent to the customer.

Ubuntu 11.04 has been fully installed and will bring us many new features. I believe many people have heard of Ubuntu and they should have the courage to try new things, now let's look at Canonical. A good product has been developed, and the promotion efforts are insufficient. We will wait and see if the promotion methods are appropriate.

Canonical needs to show the bright and fascinating side of Ubuntu to the world. Now Ubuntu is like a beautiful girl dancing in the corner. She needs to go into the spotlight and let people around her know her, knowing her existence is a very important step, otherwise it will be covered by the light of other dancers.

Mark Shuttleworth, you should read this article. You need to know that your product is already very good and has the ability to occupy the hearts of users and let users pull out their wallets, but make it a reality, ubuntu Unity must take over the Windows desktop and occupy the Windows shop Windows around the world. If you do, the Linux community will follow you and stay with you. Thank you.
