I've no idea where you're going with the TV thing; it's a TV. It was just an example of how Linux is everywhere. It has as much worth as any other TV. The firmware updates are via Internet or OTA, like, you know, a TV.

Nonsense, Linux is more popular and more widely used than ever. You were saying the same things two years ago, right? I suppose you'll still be saying the same two years from now.

> Had the BSDs won against GNU/Linux*

The BSDs aren't against Linux (except in the minds of some overly zealous BSD fanboys). The popularity of Linux has increased the popularity of the BSDs. They've helped each other.

EDIT: Oh yes, Containers! How could I forget containers! Just add it to the list...

Ah the Pyrrhic victory, it is there but out of reach!

Yep, and if Google does release Fuchsia, lets see who is right.
