More Linux in the Wild— Does It Mean Anything?

Posted 11-25-2015 at 02:39 AM by John Roe

There are more Linux flavors to make the head spin than the biblical psalms- and that is no jest. With the advent of Unix-esque systems like Apple's OSX or iOS & Google's Android, there are now even mundanely kitchen appliances running the kernel. To the inclined it seems a great victory over the closed source systems; does that mean anything, though?
A boy in an arcade plays a video game powered by Fedora; a woman checks the time on a Nexus phone, sends her email to a client; but all they care is that it works. To the average person one device is all the same as another. Linux has now, in one of its exponentially varied forms, exceeded the competition. Yet, even the devils believe, and tremble. Exactly how relevant is Linux? I cannot tell. They say beauty is only skin deep. How deep is the effect of the recent vastness of use of open source?
