I do not like the name of the authors site, while basically the prediction is based on IBM buying RedHat and stiffing development; increasing complexity and viruses; lack of community and cancel culture; and most of all Google going to Fuschia?

@AppDev First Linux Foundation caved to corporatism, and after US corporations caved to the soft totalitarian ideology of wokeness Linux Foundation had to cave to that too. The corporations in the US has been flooded with people trained in what to think, but not how to think. This has all started at the Universities and Colleges.

@OafElectronics Alas yes, the 'Great Reset' all comes together. -The isolation of the communities, the infiltration and takeover by corporations and the subversion by the woke warriors. It will end with a gutted community, a gutted project, and a big fat controller at the top telling you how you are going to rent and consume their product with no alternative.

Yeah--his comments on the community collapsing are incorrect--communities across all OS have collapsed as well.

Also, his analogy of Linux running in front of Indiana Jones' boulder is incorrect as there is no boulder coming up behind Linux. His only argument for that is just the age of Linux.

Speaking of which, he separates Windows into different iterations--3.x, 9x, NT, etc), but keeps Linux as a single OS. The Linux of today is nothing like the Linux of the 90's. You can argue that they are separate operating systems.

I think he, as a person, tends to see everything as a glass-half-empty situation. All through history, traditional methods have given way to newer methods. Linux is evolving just like everything else. It is still Linux.
