    and anything not linux is going to be further marginalized.

    It sucks. It's not good. It concentrates power more and more. Look at the way google has completely swallowed the browser market with chromium.

      first of all, desktop linux is nowhere near the point where anything not linux will be marginalized. second of all we basically have that right now with windows but with windows you can make a spinoff with more security features or personalization or for a more specific purpose while still being able to use the software you want. Windows and MacOS are proprietary and locked down, and it you don't like it tough because what are you gonna do. If linux is the main operating system you get to choose what distro you want, what desktop environment you want (if you want one at all) if you want to be crazy secure you can use QubesOS, if you want something simple you can use Pop! OS, if you want something better for business you can use RHEL. Also linux isn't owned by one company, especially not an ad agency. Comparing linux as the #1 os to chromium being the #1 browser isn't really a fair comparison.

      Linux as the main operating system is good for most people and for the ones that don't it's not like windows is going to be gone forever, it will probably never truely die.
