It will take some serious, I hate to say it, YouTube campaigning and such to make Linux a more mainstream thought in the public’s brain.
And soon there would be a corpo that will make a closed source commercial OS based on Linux and people will somehow use their crap.
Red hat is still around...
Redhat is opensource, it's just not free to use
Rocky and Fedora are based off it ig
Iirc, didn't they start basically selling access to the source code?
Still better than completely proprietary OS that lets you use AI assistant you didn't ask for
I mean, this can happen to the future of Linux
