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.
