If “The Linux desktop has been superior since its early days” then it should have dominated in the marketplace?

Which are more popular--The Chevys/Fords or the Mercedes/Maybachs?

Which are better?

Popularity does not indicate quality.

No that isn’t a true statement. The best doesn’t always win. Microsoft Windows was not better than OS/2 from IBM. Far from it. M$ had better marketing (amongst other things).
