For me is just saying that Linux have reached maturity, the very rough edges that can scare the regular user are been polished ( drivers availability, automatic drivers loading, USB subsystem, Xorg, the install process itself and etc.). Well it pays off with Linux getting fatter and fatter but anyways. I'm coming from #linuxhelp IRC chat channel halfway across the globe and there is the same situation. The real peak was in early to mid 2000's when the Linux servers were really booming (at least there) .Today this channel has around 10 regular people sitting there and almost no chat.<br>

Besides it should be a subset of this list, Linux enthusiasts discusing non<br>
