I’d be happier than a pig in shit if I could find a job doing all Linux stuff. As long as I’m helping to spread the word of Linux… Fuck, I’m all for it.
That’s not to say that I think that Linus Torvalds is some kind’a god. Fuck that. No, no, no.
I do think that he has tapped into something that will leave even huge corporations reeling though. Listening Intel? Listening MicroSoft? What is this magical superpower that he has tapped into?
People. Everyday, ordinary, people. People who just wanna get shit done, without fucking around with, “Oh, is this gonna change my workflow from one day to the next?”
Screw that. Once you get Linux set up, it can last you for years. Decades, even.
And if you don’t like something, you can change it. Agreeably, with a whole lotta googling, and maybe some chatgpt, on your side. A whole lotta hair being pulled out.
Did you know that Auto-Tune was developed by somebody that was ribbed by a colleague’s wife? No joke. Now look at it. It’s being used,copiously IMO, by musicians today.
That’s the power of Linux. It’s not computers. It’s not code.
It’s people.
