       @mntmn To me it is pretty clear that Linux is wildly successful mainly because of a lot of open source developers who are there because they perceive it as some kind of "social warrior" project, AND (to a lesser degree) because of companies who believe in the "*NOT*".Up to a few years ago, Linus was very good at keeping both those camps happy.

       @mntmn Even for people wanting a unix-like operating system free of charge in the mid-1990s, FreeBSD was an objectively better alternative.   But a lot of really good programmers chose Linux for political reasons, and made it better.I still run FreeBSD on my home server.  I have considered switching because it would make things easier with docker and systemd, but by now I'm kind of happy I haven't.
