Microsoft didn't kill Linux on the Desktop... Apple did.

Summary

This quote suggests that while Microsoft has often been criticized for hindering the popularity of Linux as an operating system on personal computers, it was actually Apple that had a stronger impact. Apple's development of aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly interfaces, particularly with their Mac OS, garnered a large fan base and led to increased adoption of Apple products. Consequently, this benefited Apple's macOS over Linux when it comes to mainstream use on desktop computers.

He was a physicist, more precisely an astrophysicist, diligent and eager but without illusions: the Truth lay beyond, inaccessible to our telescopes, accessible to the initiates. This was a long road which he was traveling with effort, wonderment, and profound joy.

His road was long and he had barely started up it, but I was his disciple: did I want to follow him?
