nah I think this is just unwarranted pessimism. I mean, yeah, a complete fascist take over could take place and we’d lose all semblance of public propriety and GNU could be taken over by FUKU but there’s a billion distros out there with versions extending to all the way back in 1999 or w/e, the code is all open source. You could put it all back together to untether yourself from that potential nightmare.
You could put it all back together but would you have access to all the online streaming services? Look how long it took us to get netflix on linux properly, and we still aren't first class citizens there either.
The rest of "linux" is going to move on and leave us behind.
