“I would be willing to wager a 6 pack that Windows will be running on a Linux kernel in 10 years.”

Hmmmm.

Reason suggests, “True.”

Corporate ego says, “Not on yer effen LIFE!”

Which will prevail, I wonder...?

IBM who bought out Redhat just killed CentOS which is the same thing. For obvious reasons. Everyone from the military to CERN was using CentOS. Companies that have 10s of thousands of nodes were using CentOS. A few months ago they made it a rolling stream which is absolutely unacceptable for production systems. Obvious reasons-run everyone to the pay to paid subscriptions. And I am ok with that but they really screwed a lot a MAJOR MAJOR companies/institutions. And btw, Mint and Ubuntu are built on Debian Linux. Great for desktops and partially adopted for enterprise level stuff but for an end user experience I would definitely go with Mint or MX. If you are a gamer or need heavy duty graphic cards, you might want to stick with windows. I’ve been waiting 20 years for Linux to be a desktop OS but it just isn’t there yet.
