...Linux still years behind Windows and Azure and AWS and Google cloud.

Considering that Linux actually powers AWS and Google cloud, this statement makes no sense. It it pretty well follows that the rest of your argument falls flat.

YOu can remain in denial all you wish.

Being the OS behind a lot of remote servers, is not the same as being the OS behind cloud services.

It's like pretending that Windows does cloud. Windows does cloud, but mostly at the client side. Servers at the remote site might be powered by Linux and/or Windows servers, but, that alone does not define "cloud services".

Linux may have to become a "simple" client at the local level, while being a more complex server at the remote site. IOW, Linux will have to be split up into Linux-client, which it already is for the most part when it comes to consumer level computing, and it will also have to become the the server OS that handles the actual processing and file-handling at remote sites. That is how Windows is evolving, into client software and server software (it's kind of "back to the future" computing. How many of the applications at the remote servers were specifically designed to be run as "cloud services", besides the OS itself?
