Linux has definitely made a lot of sense even in a purely materialistic sense.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
All the best people in life seem to like LINUX.
A lot of that momentum comes from the fact that Linux is free.
There's innovation in Linux. There are some really good technical features that I'm proud of. There are capabilities in Linux that aren't in other operating systems.
I think Linux is a great thing, because Linux is an alternative to Windows, and because, of all the operating systems that are at all relevant today, Unix is the best of a bad lot.
Linux evolved in a completely different way. From nearly the beginning, it was rather casually hacked on by huge numbers of volunteers coordinating only through the Internet.
The thing with Linux is that the developers themselves are actually customers too: that has always been an important part of Linux.
I think Linux is a great thing, in the big picture. It's a great hacker's tool, and it has a lot of potential to become something more.
Before the commercial ventures, Linux tended to be rather hard to set up, because most of the developers were motivated mainly by their own interests.
Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches.
Linux is its own worst enemy: it's splintered, it has different distributions, it's too complex to run for most people.
