Hi, It seems that we all have our glass ball we are looking into and it's all just speculation. What will happen, and why IBM was taking over RedHat, can only be answered by IBM. We find out soon enough. Besides that, no one is hindered coming up with the next stable Linux Desktop, so why should it be dead? Systems don't sell software, but software sells systems. It's like claiming that ADA or COBOL is dead, which is neither right nor does it make much sense. Regarding an "SC OS": I was thinking about this idea for a while now. The software and hardware landscape is transforming in the next years (thanks to the recent OOO vulnerabilities, RISC-V and other projects fostering Open Source). Many companies are implementing hard- and software from a clean slate, getting rid of legacy cruft and mistakes from the past, which finally enables different Kernel concepts like Exokernels, fast Microkernels and highly reliable and secure new Operating Systems possible. The old Commodore64/Amiga experience, which allowed you to directly "boot" into an IDE/Game/Desktop within seconds, is entirely doable. It does not help though, whining about what other companies did, do or will do. If you want things to change, act! Someone needs to get started, and I don't know why it couldn't be one of us. Best regards, Possibly another clown. |
