Linux had it's chance back in the early 2000s, but fluffed it. They had all the information available to say get a particular HP printer, or a DVD drive to work on one's newly installed Linux. And when one downloaded the bookend and the other Tar file to get the equipment working - there weren't any instructions as to what to do next. The steep learning curve was too much for me, when Windows was sitting there with plug and play.
Anyhow, most of the internet runs on Linux servers, and Android is a subset of Linux, and I was surprised to find that my Acronis True Image backup program for Windows, is actually a Linux program - when it wouldn't work on one of my computers, Acronis gave me the Linux instructions to fix it.
And the Linux Live distributions have been great for getting data out of stuffed computers, before one has to wipe then and reinstall either an old image or fresh OS installation.
So there are going to be a lot of extremists around.
Cheers,
Renato
