Linux started in the same position. Sometimes the underdogs win.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoLinux "won" by playing different game. Yes, it spread out and is now everywhere, underpinning all computing. But the "game" wasn't about that - it was competing with Windows for mind-share and money with users, and by proxy for profitability. In this, it's still losing badly. People are still not using it knowingly (no, Android is not "Linux"), and developers in its ecosystem are not making money selling software.
