Delete Looks like a short-lived group whose only purpose was to discourage the use of the controversial Lindows OS and when that got no real adoption, so did this group. It actually may be worth a short mention in Linspire#Criticism, but we might be in esoteric territory. Nate • (chatter) 23:05, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It gets a few mentions in Infoworld's of years past, and in various books on Linux-based operating systems and companies, but there's not all of that much analysis of it in these sources. It's basically "Oh look! There's a Desktop Linux Consortium." news in the computer magazines, and "This company was in the Desktop Linux Consortium." elsewhere.
