Yes I am talking decades and specifically about Linux, naturally other OSes will eventually share similar fate.

Check Android and maker distributions for how much gets merged upstream.

The only guarantee of the future is that it is unpredictable.

Yet here you are making predictions...

I doubt Linux will fade away until there is some major paradigm change away from Van Neumann architecture. It has survived and become dominant over 30 years by constantly adapting and innovating.

The plethora of IoT FOSS OSes with MIT/BSD licenses already show where the train is going.
