I am of the opinion that the best “boost” for Linux would be an alteration of the core OS so that it follows the model of Minix 3 as the Kernel / hypervisor mode and the OSes running in user mode.

Looks like Big Blue is getting tired of putting up
with the vagaries and vulnerabilities of Windoze.

It was the IBM platform the made Bill Gates and now
they appear to be giving his product the cold shoulder.

IBM to spend $1 billion on Linux in 2001

IBM uses Linux under z/VM on mainframes
as the world largest server
as well as Linux on blades.

Back in the early 2000’s, IBM did testing of how many Linux instances it could run simultaneously on one of the big Dino mainframes.

They started to see degradation when they got up to something like 44,000 Linuxes.
44,000.
All running at the same time!

Dinos RULE!!!!

Unload your Microslop stock now, while it’s still worth more than toilet paper.

Worked so well for them with OS/2 and its an even worse corporation today.

Well, that should be the kiss of death for Linux. ;’)
