microsoft openly states they want to deprecate win32
by 2020 windows 7 will no longer be supported by security updates
the linux world is fractured, and not able to attract major developers
how do we save computing, Sup Forums?

BLAME GOOGLE.
GOOGLE EMBRACE EXTEND EXTINGUISHED LINUX.
Android and "Chrome OS" and the Google fanboys who support them have done more harm to the growth of NATIVE LINUX than any corporation in existence. Because of Android and "Chrome OS" people stopped developing applications for desktop Linux.
Their argument does something like: Android is Linux or "Chrome OS" is Linux so I'll just develop for them. They think having the Linux kernel makes it Linux.
its obvious google needs to die, but until the data market ceases to exist that's not going to happen any time soon
honestly at this point from my perspective the future lies somewhere in BSD
Same shit. Corporations will fuck it up. Open Source is owned by corporations.
Redisign computer hardware from the bottom up on devices like raspberry pi
windows will fix itself eventually
>deprecate win32
And what do they intend to replace it with? Pretty much every user space library interacts with Win32, since there is no other portable method of issuing system calls on Windows. If they wanted to make a new low level API, they'd be starting completely from scratch.
Is this the year of the OSX desktop?
>people stopped developing applications for desktop Linux.
Quite the contrary. Mobile actually forced more multi-platform development frameworks out there (if you have to code for Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, and Android, you might as well use one framework for everything) and Linux was able to tag along for the ride. Granted, tons of Electron applications isn't really that great, but it's better than nothing. Also, Unity and Unreal and Steam support means plenty of games.
Berkeley Software Distribution
post your OS wishlist:
>Unix (not Linux)
>proper driver support that justwerx
>Windows-sized software library with support for actual software titles like Photoshop, vidya is fine too
>CDE-like desktop environment
>not maintained by fedora spergs who choose muh freedums over functionality
also
>it's 2017 and Linux is still unusable garbage
windows with a package manager
oh wait, that's windows 10
use windows 10
learn to adapt
Corporations aren't evil, big government that enables big business is.
So in other words, Ubuntu with Windows' software library.
more like IRIX with Windows' software library (and x86-64 support obviously). It really blasts my booty that MacOS is the only modern Unix with anything close to an actual software library, but of course the DE is shit and it's tied to their housefire hardware
>Corporations aren't evil
Stop using wankbloz, easy
UWP
Because they don't understand that UWP relies on Win32 under the hood. Because yes, they are that fucking stupid.
oh gee and I wonder who owns the lobbying companies and writes the legislation
the solution of course is obviously give government more power, surely that would never go wrong
macOS

YEAR OF THE GNU/HURD DESKTOP
>something that isn't complete shit
>the linux world is fractured, and not able to attract major developers
major developers will have choose between getting kek'd by microbenis or start to develop for LTS/enterprise grade GNU/Linux or BSD systems.
>the linux world is fractured
99% systemd/freedesktop is not really that fractured
>libertarian
lmao, Ole Benny has always been NatSoc.
>prole
Funny terminology from ideologues who claim to represent the working class.
Anyway, interesting shoop. Would be better if it wasn't carbon-copied.
