My only concern is that as more large corporations and governments begin to use it, it becomes a much larger target for attacks and malware. There was a point in time where Apple was far more secure than Windows but it was mostly because they had a tiny fraction of the market share and hackers didn’t want to bother with attacking it
Thats definitely a possible negative, but it comes with new strengths that can help blunt the impact. It will increase the amount of contributors, resources and money at every level. More people will be exposed to linux and inspired to contribute to the community. Governments and companies will be motivated to protect standards they rely on. I cant predict the future, but im hopeful working together is the solution to the problems any major infrastructure change will suffer from.
I hope you find some alternative you really enjoy using.
It’s getting better, no question. I’m hopeful it will continue to get better.
Im really excited for Europes expansion into open source. I think big things could be coming from it in a few years.
