Comment 675 for bug 1

What should we understand from this example? Majority of people do it that
way?

Five years ago, or so, it was funny for me to play with hardware, as you
describe. Now it's not. And by looking around, most people (not all, I now a
lot of examples of geeks who are using their own Linux from scratch) are
using computer just as a tool. Ubuntu is targeted exactly those people as
far as I understand it (they are sometimes called 'beginners').

My point is: if Ubuntu was perfect, I can bet no one will ever use Windows.
Any step to perfection means more users = market share, automatically
leading to adoption on laptops/computers.
