Linux's cloud overcomplication will make the OS collapse into itself as Windows servers did long ago. People will switch to more simple systems.

I agree, and I think you’re starting to see that with the container spins of Linux.

I’d guess that in a 10 years, somebody will ditch ancient POSIX stuff and hardware support and do something new.

POSIX will be still around, because UNIX compatibility, but not necessarily on top of Linux.

Yeah, they'll switch to another cloud that obscures the layers. We don't need to re-invent the wheel, we just have to make the wheel better.
