Linux in 2021 – Should you support it? Yes or no?
Cancel Culture impacts all of us, even experts. Gather the essential information to guide research, and let that study question conventional ideas—expect criticism and possible backlash...
The YouTube clip opens with an intense cry about YouTube... it quickly loses its momentum. * He’s frustrated by the cancellation of many LANs and conferences during the pandemic. * He feels the kernel contains "too many lines of code." * He dislikes IBM or the acquisition of RedHat. * He seems to believe in the excitement around Google’s rumored Fuchsia OS. I usually try not to be so critical, but it feels like typical clickbait aimed at an angry audience. In reality, Linux has grown stronger. Cloud computing is pushing Windows servers into the background, and while desktop users remain small, performance is improving. Hardware support in the Linux kernel now matches what we once imagined, and file systems like ZFS offer advanced backup features. Even the Linux podcast scene is expanding. Projects such as Home Assistant, Raspberry Pi, and iSH on iPad are introducing Linux to new groups. I suspect this person is just a typical outrager trying to repeat the same sensational content.
That was the most boring "Linux Sucks" talk IMO, his older ones were funnier. There's still nothing better than linux to this day (sadly(. I hope that someday a BSD system will catch up. He usually does a talk like that every year, it's usually just a tldr of some stuff that he has seen around linux in that year, and usually ends up with: "it's going to die someday, but not today, and there's still nothing better than it today". He is a running gag and mostly seen as a joke. Those videos are mostly humorous (or used to be) and shouldn't be taken that seriously.
Earlier content concentrated more on the desktop environment, while this post shifted focus away from that area. The main feedback centers on management and external factors. As someone who has used Linux for a long time, the desktop experience has definitely gotten better, though regular users—especially developers—can usually work around most issues. The only viable alternative would be switching to MacOS, which many developers favor, but this depends on your organization's budget and requirements.
