So typical big corp marketing material disguised as whitepaper.

Yeah, exactly because of that, lets not do victory laps for a kernel. GNU/Linux, the Linux desktop, has zero relevance on Android. No one, not a single person, buying Android tablets and phones at places like MediaMarkt, cares about GN

No they wouldn't, given that the only reason I got into Linux was the lackluster POSIX support on Windows NT.

It is hardly any different that saying gaming on Linux is great because MAME exists. Game studios will keep buying Windows, using Visual Studio, and let Valve do the needful. Additionally people keep acting as if Valve and Gabe will be arou

Yeah, if we ignore Windows 70%, and Mac's 20% of desktop share.

No it does not. It gives a Linux experience within the security sandbox from Android, which is why there are limitations when using it on regular devices, via PlayStore. Also it requires working around the NDK limitations on available POSIX

Not really, that was a fluke, still below 10%, although getting closer with 7.53%. https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide

Ah, Android, with a userspace based on Java, Kotlin, C and C++ standard libraries, Android native APIs, without anything related to GNU/Linux, unless it is a rooted device, or one gets to package a full Linux userspace as an APK, which

No, but that is what they will ever get from OEMs selling PCs at computer stores used by normies. Also lets not forget those distros play Windows games, because hardly any studio bothers with native Linux games.

Linux has made it to the desktop, packaged inside VMs served by Apple, Microsoft and Google.

Well, one needs to keep surviving the hype wave, not that other surfers overtake it.

Ah look, yet another one jumping into AI party.

Depends on how they treat the working conditions of their offshoring teams in poor countries, replacing US workers.

A few ongoing wars come to mind, and techno feudalism with offshoring slaves.

Does it? Many of those same persons are sponsoring the horrors of the 21st century as well.

Nice to see the performance improvements work.

Isn't so nice that the 1980-2000's distribution models are back, as there doesn't seem to be any other way to get folks to pay for tools? It is either that, or a SaaS wall.

Oracle Cloud services?

One great thing about historical fact is that anyone is able to check them, including interviews with key figures. I am using computers since 1986.

I always have to smile that the whole microservices, isn't much different from "The network is the computer", Taligent, CORBA/DCOM, WebServices, SOA,.... with iPaaS products being another go at BPEL. Maybe Microsoft shou

I had a good experience with DITA based tools when writing technical documentation a few years ago, and there are enough graphical tools for a Word like experience.

The biggest problem is that none of these projects actually go for the full stack, hardware, operating systems, programming languages, user software, cloud infra. It is mostly a specific kind, and lasts one ruling period in most cases. On m

Indeed, which is why I am the opinion they had nothing to complain about. However given their track record designing programming languages, thankfully that did not happen.

Like many things in this fashion industry, how else do you get new conference subjects, consulting gigs, books,...?

They also reinvented CORBA and DCOM, as MCP now supports gRPC as optional protocol. The reason is that these "folks getting paid several hundred thousand dollars a year" are mostly youngsters without any care to learn about comp

We have those sandboxes already, it is called serverless, and those microservices are now extended with MCP endpoints metadata.

Sure, but why not use Revolut directly?

You can reach out to Revolut, they are based on UK.

I am quite sure long sleeve Tee under a band t-shirt will eventually make a come back, given all the nostalgia wave from Gen Z, experiencing their grandfathers teenage years.
