Linux有一个问题：它没有需要征服的平台。它已经是智能手机和超级计算机领域的顶级操作系统，而且被广泛应用于嵌入式和工业系统。虽然GNU/Linux桌面的黎明还在前方，但是平板电脑的兴起在某种程度上弥补了这一缺憾。
这似乎意味着，没有主要的，全新的平台让年轻的Linux编码者崭露头角：相反，他们似乎注定要清理那些先获得平台的人留下来的小问题。为了避免下一代顶级程序员的幻灭，Linux急需开拓一个主要的新的产品平台——一个非常重要且尚未开发的平台。

英文原文： What's the next big platform for Linux?
Abstract：Glyn Moody wonders whether the car – a currently undeveloped yet important platform with great potential – can provide the inspiration for the next generation of Linux coders.
Linux has a problem: it's running out of platforms to conquer. It's already the top operating system for smartphones and supercomputers, and is widely used in embedded and industrial systems. It's true the Year of the GNU/Linux desktop continues to be five years in the future, but the rise of tablets makes up for that in part.
That seems to suggest that there are no major, completely new areas where young Linux hackers can make their mark: instead, they seem doomed to mopping up minor problems left behind by the people who were fortunate enough to get to a platform first. To avoid disillusionment of the next generation of top coders, Linux desperately needs to colonise a major new product platform – one that is simultaneously hugely important and yet without any established digital leaders.
