VaporTrail 66 Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 Can we get a TL:DW for those of us w/o audio? The old technical reasons why Linux sucks have mostly been resolved through iterative improvements, but there's a corporate takeover afoot which threatens the future of Linux as an open-source platform. Microsoft & VMWare are but two examples why Linux is dying by a thousand paper cuts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdiguy 96 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Eh, linux is free and a legal free OS. There are multiple industries that use linux everyday on appliances and such. It might lose some users but it will be a long time before it is gone. Most firewalls in production are still running some flavor of linux. Many siem type of devices run linus especially centos. There is even a lot of linux in many large scale operations for back end work like facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmind11 717 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) I've never worked at a company that didn't run Linux on their production servers. The RHEL thing earlier this year might be trouble, but :shrug: Edited November 29, 2018 by mastrmind11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 What they seem to be saying, is not that it's going away, but is becoming/has become/being forced to become a more commercial windows like, platform. Lots of very interesting info in that video. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest asrequested Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 10 years ago: - Linux should be more main stream Now: - Linux is to main stream Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaporTrail 66 Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 10 years ago: - Linux should be more main stream Now: - Linux is to main stream That's different. You're thinking about sentiments by ironic hipsters no one should pay attention to. If someone thinks Linux is mainstream because of server adoption or their favorite kernel powers Android/IoT devices, they should reconsider their understanding of "mainstream". This video is about merging open-source code into closed-source projects that extinguishes further open-source development through patent trolling. It's worth knowing about if you're a professional developer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaporTrail 66 Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 @, yes that is his corny speaking style. He has a YouTube channel worth checking out. He's been involved with Linux many years: https://www.youtube.com/user/BryanLunduke/videos Without re-watching the hour-long video, here's an article discussing the strategy he covers in his keynote: https://www.quora.com/What-is-Embrace-extend-and-extinguish-strategy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaporTrail 66 Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 @ Are you a fan of Microsoft buying GitHub? Would love to know your thoughts based on your experience. Here's that same dude covering the topic, which is a distillation of the keynote video anyway: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaporTrail 66 Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 @ Appreciate your opinions. As you say, time will tell. I believe the data which shows mega corporations cannot work in the public good and stay competitive at the top echelons of business, but there's always hope.

Luke 37056 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Do you think that announcement is good or bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaporTrail 66 Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 OMG They are doing it again!!!! https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2018/12/06/microsoft-edge-making-the-web-better-through-more-open-source-collaboration/ I think Bryan Lunduke is about to have another ranty outburst :-) LOL, I think you're right. Let's not get it twisted though. Bryan is saying if Microsoft was still following their previous stated goals of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, this is how he would imagine it'd go, but he's not claiming that's what's actually happening. There's nothing tinfoil hat about relating industry news and putting a question out there. That said, I can see how adopting Chromium will make websites render much better on Edge and help MS retain browser market-share for Win10 users. It'll certainly benefit web designers who develop on Chrome and don't want to fix compatibility issues with IE/Edge. I use Chromium on Linux Mint, and now there's a video where Bryan posits the question when will MS buy Canonical. Oy vey. With your news re: Chromium, I guess there's no escape.
