For people who roll their eyes when someone mentions Linux and all of the free and open source projects adjacent to it (including Firefox!), this is exactly why many people value those things. We actually can have freedom in computing and it’s worth pushing for. We don’t have to roll over simply accept what Google, Microsoft and Apple want.
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

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

Why not be happy both OS options exist? Both have a place and a use and in various ways an ease of use
That’s the point. We want options for OSs to exist, instead of one company monopolizing the entire market.
Linux with 100% market share can’t monopolize the entire market because it’s open source and would just be forked
Woosh…
What use is there for the others?
