The companies absolutely got the ball rolling. Sure, the grass roots started the ball rolling, but that roll was not going to get Linux anywhere without the kin

The companies absolutely got the ball rolling. Sure, the grass roots started the ball rolling, but that roll was not going to get Linux anywhere without the kinds of investment that Redhat and others brought in the second half of the 90s.
- phendrenad2 3y agoDepends on what you mean by "anywhere". If your only goal in life is to see Linux take over the datacenter, well you should be happy. But if Linux ok the desktop is more of your goal, then I think that the corporations have actually been a detriment because they prioritize changes that help the server ecosystem, even if it makes the desktop shittier.
