Alive in the marketshare sense but they don't have as much going on as they used to.

People who use Linux use it because of what it is, a fantastic piece of software that puts trillion dollar corpo to shame.

Most Windows users have never tried any alternatives. The 'tech normies' would switch to Mac in a heartbeat if they could afford them, they don't really care about what they use as long as it has shiny buttons.

Two words, free beer.

Linux would be nowhere without the UNIX trillion dollar corps that have adopted it to cut down development costs in UNIX R&D.

It would be another Hurd.
