I think there’s too much corporate dependence on Linux for it to go away. There may be a tragedy of the commons where companies dependent on Linux fail to invest enough in it to keep it thriving. And corporate purposes may not align with hobbyist purposes, but I think Linux will persist as more than a zombie. I’m somewhat more worried about the maintainability and churn of the ecosystem built up around Linux. The video mentioned OpenBSD a couple of times. OpenBSD shoulders a disproportionate share of the burden in maintaining important infrastructure. Take a look at all the spinoff projects OpenBSD is responsible for, feel queasy, and then write them a check. They make a pretty great OS too ;-)
