MODERATORS
they miss the statue of Linus Torvalds
The problem is capitalism, not which kernel everything runs. And the reason FOSS isn't universal is also capitalism.
Aren’t the majority of computers already on Linux? Unless you mean desktops
Majority... yeah, Android smartphone and servers would be a really really big number.
Most computers in the world are not desktops
If Linux was dominant it wouldn’t be Linux. There would be more pressure to monetize and there would always be someone willing to sell out for that money. You can see this even in the Linux community today. I’m sorry I had to be so negative about it though, it sounds nice.
Linux is already dominant on just about everything except the desktop, and it has yet to suffer significant enshittification.
Edit: Well, a bunch of Linux distributions have suffered enshittification, if that counts.
If windows didn't exist, linux would dominate with the problems you describe, and we'd still see this meme, but advocating for FreeBSD instead.
That being said, I like them both. It's been a while since I last used bsd, so I think it's about time I give it another spin.
I'm unsure. I switch between MacOS and Linux regularly.
I'd reckon Apple's OS would dominate the "user friendly" space(not saying Linux is bad, just what everyone memes).
Maybe it should say, “If the world went open source, and capitalism went away.”
Even fantasy should have some limits folks c'mon now
