Microsoft went to shit after Gates stepped off

Microsoft went to shit after Gates stepped off.
Apple's vision was killed after Jobs died.

What will happen to Linux, yes, the kernel, if something happens to Linus? I mean, he pretty much controls the direction of the development.

watch any Q&A Linus video where he gets asked exactly that and fuck off.

>controls the direction of the development

:^)

link?

Gates never controlled anything technology. Even the DOS OS was bought off from someone else. Same with Apple whatever the sperglords will claim.

the big name kernel maintainers are pretty identical to Torvalds in terms of philosophy and work ethic

when THOSE guys croak though, no idea.

>cant search videos
>is on technology board
get a load of this guy

Do you know what a search bar is? Use the one on jewtube.

How are faggots like you even on Sup Forums?

People will have switched to hurd by then.

I'll just use the best OS avialable. Right now that's GNU+Linux.

Canonical will take care of it.

Linux will finally get a thumbnail view in file picker

no, he is not. He is already step down from maintaining stable-branch. Google about Greg Kroah-Hartman.

He will continue to berate incompetence and asinine suggestions from beyond the grave via inline comments which mysteriously appear in the code when the pull requests are made. A ghost in the git.

Linus stepped off ages ago. He doesn't write code these days, he merges the pulls

but his name is still on almost every changelog?

One can only hope.

lolno

Old chart I know, but hasn't changed much trust me.

>oh no, computers are selling more these days
dumb wintoddler

But they aren't, user. Due to smartphones and tablets, they aren't.

Gates had the most aggressive and "embrace extend and extinguish" policies of all Microsoft CEOs. Most focused on proprietary standards too.

The current Microsoft is actually more accepting of open source and non-proprietary standards.

>I don't remember the "Embrace, extend extinguish" era!
Microsoft was always shit, even when - actually especially when - Gates was at the helm.

The numales take over and spend the next decade removing problematic terminology from the code.

Yea and that era gave (you) Win 95, 2000 and Xp.

This "accepting" Microsoft gave you Win 10.

Really fires your neurons.
