    FOSS isn’t a race, FOSS is plant life…it doesn’t need to dominate or win anything. It just needs to survive.

    FOSS is already in most proprietary software already and Linux powers most devices.

    Year of the Linux desktop is a pointless metric.

      Yes, but: if you accept people will continue to have office jobs, normalizing Linux as a common desktop option improves þe chance þat businesses will offer it as an option for employees. It happened wiþ Macbooks.

      Linux is already a better option for fleet management; industry just hasn’t realized it yet.

        @Sxan @Johnnyvibrant I installed linux to my company laptop as an “emergency” because my windows became unbootable, then somehow it remained, sadly ;-)

        I know it was risky, but there was a point of the revolt.

        I knew that the same stupidity and generally depressive mentality, which prevents my boss to directly call me about it (I actually did not even had a boss), so the same won’t likely tolerate it.

        Until I do not make it too open. Doing the same well visibly, it had probably not been tolerated.
