    But there are a few specific hardware configurations and specialized jobs that Linux doesn’t work for, therefore nobody should use it!

          Linux with 100% market share can’t monopolize the entire market because it doesn’t have a centralized distro

          You see similar to Google with Redhat/Canonical. If everyone was with them then it would be a problem

            Linux with 100% marketshare means nothing.

            GPL is designed to protect developer rights, not user rights.

            If google packaged your linux distro and sold it through the play store bundled with their own apps and sandboxed everything and called it chromeOS, your rights would not be any better protected.

            Security and privacy involves users making informed choices to protect themselves, full stop.

      My workplace is transitioning a bunch of their data and processing to the cloud. When I look at what software makes the cloud work, there is soooo much open source software there. Big business is quite comfortable with FOSS
