Linux is fun as hell.
coincidentally its an ever rarer piece of tech not consumed by capitalism yet.
Counterpoint: corporate organizations provide the bulk of the funding for open source and corporate organizations make a lot of profit from using open source projects. Arguably individual users are reaping far fewer benefits of open source other than not being unwitting data-donors to corporations.
I honestly am really worried about what will happen to Linux when Linus Torvalds passes on. The flat Bazaar of the Linux Kernel Mailing list is at risk of being rife with power struggles for control once Torvalds is no longer in control.
in a capitalist system, we are mostly going to do things the capitalist way even though most of the desktop ecosystem we actually use is made by volunteers and smaller companies. explains a lot of the funding issues we have getting it off the ground for general desktop use, while servers corporations use are well funded and developed.
your worry about linus' death comes directly from capitalism, you just know investors will pick it apart and destroy it for money if they somehow get their grubby hands on it.
Precisely, capitalism is always the problem.
Yes! And Windows is anything but.
Right! I'm having a blast with my server.
True, my steam deck and Miyoo mini are great devices.
