No, if it didn’t exist, we’d have better competition for Windows. It’s too self-limiting with its unstable ABI/API, and commie GPL. BSD is freer and has better load handling, efficiency, networking stack, security, cohesiveness, documentation, etc. And then there’s all the OSes that were promising that Linux squashed by idiots saying ‘we can do that in Linux’ when Linux is flawed at its foundation. -Haiku for example is made for less robust hardware and is much better than Linux for it, but LiGNUts only see Linux.
Linux is destroying the industry. If you hate Microsoft: hate Linux because Linux is the best possible competition scenario it could have. Google is far worse than Microsoft though, and they were enabled by Linux.
You go happily run a grocery store with a ‘free food’ stand/bank across the street that survives due to government grants, legal interference and exploitation of unpaid / low paid workers.
Richard Stallman started GPL to exact revenge on his peers in an attempt to destroy their careers.

Get real. It’s not like linux is in some way blocking competition. It’s free for anyone to compete and try and win (a piece of) the market.
Yes, that’s why my data center is filled with them /s
I’m not saying Linux is the only way to go, but if it did not do what it should do, companies would jump to something else that does.

Gradually it became clear but here we have it : It’s all about not being able to make (enough) money from linux
You mean destroying careers of peers because of Stallman vendetta.
