Most people now didn't adopt Linux to get away from something, its just the default server OS. (And not desktop).

Most people now didn't adopt Linux to get away from something, its just the default server OS. (And not desktop).
- cwyers 12y agoI think mostly people adopted Linux to get away from paying a lot of per-seat license fees for everything, and to get away from having to buy some vendor's medium iron hardware rather than just using commodity x86 chips.
- justincormack 12y agoTen years ago yes. Now we have the new people who have never used anything non x86.
- marcosdumay 12y agoThat explains a lot. And it's very sad: Linux won, thus Linux becomes everything it stands against. Let's restart the cycle for the next 30 years. Maybe FreeBSD this time? Or is it time for a plan9-like system?
