Most servers around the world run Linux. The same goes for almost all supercomputers. That’s astonishing in a capitalist world where absolutely everything is commodified. Why can’t these big tech companies manage to sell their own software to server operators or supercomputers? Why is an open, free project that is free for users so superior here?
Sure, the list of software that runs on Linux is very long, but the list of software that I need to run is very short and most of it only runs on Windows.
In most business scenarios, the software is a very small part of the business. A manufacturing company with a very large, very expensive, and very, very difficult-to-replace machine is controlled by software, and that software runs on Windows.
The thread is about servers and supercomputers being dominated by Linux
Yeah? That software runs on a server…
