No need for a downvote :) I have witnessed Linux' rise from nothing to the dominating server OS. Back then there was a rich ecosystem of other Unix systems that we used at my workplace (HP/UX, Digital Unix, Irix) and when we started introducing Linux it was belittled for years as a toy until it was finally accepted and slowly the other systems disappeared.
Now if Linux came to an end (I don't think so) or Linus started some new OS project it wouldn't be the end of the world but the opportunity to start over and create something new. Eternal recurrence and all that ..
