Скачать или смотреть The Quiet Rise of GNU/Linux — and Microsoft's Transformation

GNU/Linux has hit 5% market share, but its real victory is much bigger than you think.

For years, we've debated when GNU/Linux would finally challenge Windows on the desktop. While the 5% market share milestone is symbolic, the real story is how Linux has become the foundation for the entire tech industry—even for its biggest rivals.

In this video, we explore the three key blockers that have prevented widespread "pure" Linux adoption: the lack of pre-installed systems, the overwhelming paradox of choice, and the natural technology adoption curve.

We'll also analyze how Microsoft and Google have shifted their strategies, embracing Linux to bring it to the masses through platforms like WSL and Chrome OS. This isn't just about market share; it's about a fundamental transformation in how operating systems are positioned, with Microsoft evolving from a product company to a service-first giant.
