Most servers around the world run Linux. The same goes for almost all supercomputers. That’s astonishing in a capitalist world where absolutely everything is commodified. Why can’t these big tech companies manage to sell their own software to server operators or supercomputers? Why is an open, free project that is free for users so superior here?


The corporate overlords, that love monetizing every breath we take, aren’t particularly keen on having to spend money whenever they can avoid it. Linux is by far the most used kernel in the world, and aside from Android phones, where it has been monopolized and bastardized by Google, it’s regular consumers who benefit the least from it.
