lol what ? I'd give Google a lot of credit for a lot of stuff, including all their Linux contribution to the kernel.

But stating "Google made Linux mainstream" ? I can't see how ? I'd wager orgs like Ubuntu had a lot more todo with making "Linux mainstream".

It's not unusual to have more Android users on any given day than windows, Mac and Linux together.

How is that not mainstream?
