Will Linux ever get a foothold?


Linux is everywhere now. However its name is still not a main staple amongst the public. Why? I think we have to call it the cool and simple factor. We are used to Windows and it’s difficult to break that ecosystem. What is needed is a large company to take Linux and do what Apple did with BSD. The problem is I do not foresee anyone doing that and keeping the Linux name. It would be nice to hear Microsoft Linux, or Google Linux, but it won’t happen. They will get the code and call it something else. Maybe even fork it? Maybe Linux is just too nerdy and it will never catch fire. Only time will tell!
