- sonnyblarney 8y agoThough I do agree to a great extent - I also think Linux was made (iterated, improved upon, invested in by so many) with pragmatism and 'customer' (i.e. users) satisfaction in mind - it just happens to be free. Meaning, a great deal of the same 'outcome orientation' without being so overtly commercial.
- Delmania 8y agoThe reason that Linux took off was because it gave the FSF a working operating system kernel they could use to build their UNIX replacement. It was a rare case where someone's personal project matched perfectly with the needs of a group they were associated with. People wanted a replacement OS and Linus delivered just enough people could make that happen.
