I don't have any authority over Linux other than this notion that I know what I'm doing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
There are lots of Linux users who don't care how the kernel works, but only want to use it. That is a tribute to how good Linux is.
See, you not only have to be a good coder to create a system like Linux, you have to be a sneaky bastard too.
If you have any trouble sounding condescending, find a Unix user to show you how it's done.
The thing with Linux is that the developers themselves are actually customers too: that has always been an important part of Linux.
A lot of that momentum comes from the fact that Linux is free.
I very seldom worry about other systems. I concentrate pretty fully on just making Linux the best I can.
Linux has definitely made a lot of sense even in a purely materialistic sense.
The Linux philosophy is 'Laugh in the face of danger'. Oops. Wrong One. 'Do it yourself'. Yes, that's it.
