Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

I can assure you that I'll check for cops on my tail before showing up. That's just common decency!

To be frank, I don't expect the masses to start using Linux. Sadly, I just don't see it happening in the current environment. The sheep will still pay Microsoft their money. You've always been paying for Windows, it's just included in the cost of the computer. As they go to subscription models, it's not going to change fuck-all.

We, not me but we Linux users, have been hoping for the Year of the Linux Desktop for a long time.

If Linux is used elsewhere, people will flock to it like sheep. Android is Linux, but only kinda. It uses the Linux kernel.

So, your phone (unless it's an iPhone) runs Linux. Your tablet runs Linux. This site, poal.co, runs on Linux. Your smart TV runs Linux. Your satellite dish's control box runs Linux. Your smart light bulbs run Linux, Your car uses Linux. Your car's infotainment runs Linux.

The list goes on...

It's Linux on the desktop that doesn't cut it for folks - even if made to look exactly like Windows!

So, I'm skeptical. Linux may gain a few users, but not that many. Right now, there are, at best, 4,000,000 desktop Linux users - as much as 4%, but probably 2 to 3%.

That's it... Maybe 4 million, tops.

40 million users should be enough to keep your site busy, as people always seem to have issues on their computer they need to resolve

Yeah, the site sees constant growth - as it did before Google threw me into the penalty box.

So, yeah... 40m people should be adequate to get respectable results. It also helps that I consistently write a new article every other day. I've maintained that publication schedule since day one with the site.

It's a whole lot of people. I just have to target them.

This month will beat last month's traffic, just like last month's traffic beat the month before. I'm on par to get almost 9000 unique visitors.

You have to be running out of ideas for new articles. You have written a ton of them
