tl;dw:
- rms and esr are ousted
- no community events due to COVID
- IBM bought Red Hat
- More companies are contributing to Linux than ever
- Google is developing Fuchsia
- Other OSes didn't last forever either
Yea, there is really not much to it.
- chewxy 6y agoHis argument on Fuschia is worth listening to tho. But the rest, yeah, pretty meh
- pantalaimon 6y agoFuschia may be able to run Linux apps now, but Linux still has all the driver support. It will take years to re-create all that.
- ognarb 6y agoAnd because the libux kernels are gpl, they can't even take a look at the linux implementation of the drivers when implementing fuchsia drivers.
- dmitriid 6y agoIt really doesn't matter. Google is aiming Fuchsia at Android and Chromecast. The two biggest components of "Linux has won". Google is in for the long game.
