Linus tackled a Linux challenge.
Linus tackled a Linux challenge.
It was obvious from the beginning where you were targeting. There’s no need for another reason to say something bold, except for quotes that could be read differently. It’s evident your thoughts are set, and you’re not genuinely keen on a serious conversation. Let’s accept we don’t see eye to eye.
It is popular though. It's really popular. You can start up a cloud / VPS service that doesn't have Windows, macOS, FreeBSD, Solaris, or any of them. But if you're trying to run servers or sell servers and you're not offering Linux, you might as well not even be doing it. Linux servers are extremely popular with business and home users. AWS made their own distro for people who wanted to run a RHEL based distro . On Graviton instances you can *only* run Linux and this isn't considered by anyone to a detriment to the product. The Linux kernel has a massive number of corporate and hobbyist contributors constantly improving it . The tech rumour mill is full of speculation about Google making their own custom CPUs to compete with Graviton , and while there's lots of speculation about whether it'll be ARM or x86 there's absolutely no doubt that it'll run Linux. I think you've got an uphill battle if you want to argue that Linux is unpopular.
