At one point, Microsoft seemed impossible to challenge. But beneath the surface, the future of computing was already shifting in a different direction. This video explores how changing technology trends, open ecosystems, cloud infrastructure, and developer culture gradually transformed the industry—and why one long-standing perspective on software evolution turned out to be far more important than most people realized. The story isn’t just about operating systems. It’s about how tech power changes over time. #Linux #Microsoft #LinusTorvalds #OpenSource #CloudComputing #TechHistory #Technology

Long Live Linux / Linus!
More windows users are using Linux, but until photoshop and other windows application support linux people will still Windows.
Windows may have own the desktop market. But linux owns everything else. Which is much better.
smart phone does not even have controls?
Linus develops the linux kernel. The many systems engineers that designed the original linux never got paid or any got recognition.
The greatest promoter of Linux is Microsoft's BULLSHIT!! It's what pushed me into arms of Linux fully The fact that I can run Debian on my AMD Athlon FX-55 w/ 2GB RAM system and it perform as well as Win10 - is phenomenal!!
Microsoft is not just Window. Entire world business runs on Microsoft tech - M365, Copilot, Azure AND Windows. Linux as a Desktop is trash - Linus Trovalds himself said this. There is nothing that can replace Microsoft Tech that Businesses use.
much software does not run in a browser, it runs in its shell command, they lost it now.
now if only regulations could be passed around to protect linux from being ruined by all these other systems, companies, and government officials. linux needs protecting and it's a shame it's going unnoticed.
Dead to Microsoft and Apple, period, long life to Linux Operating system.
Good information, important to have. But the video is needlessly long, as it repeats its points over and over.
YEEEAAAAHHHHHHH F***** Microslop!!!! HAIL to Linus Thorvald!!!!
Actually bill gates once said somebody could come up with something that could topple ms, and it would be a fast crash!
Linux saved the world
Your largest problem, is the browser will not show the link of a page, before it executes, your all running code, and you dont even know what the fuk it is, or who programmed it. The whole world is a fkn mess, Because of you Bill Gates
People roam when refused privileges. I went to Linux. Problem solved. Was 3 PCs now 3 Linux. Good bye MS.
Funny the owner of the computers world, the guy shorting Tesla.
I saw Msft was dirt as soon as Netscape showed up
Really...
Torvalds wasn't first - I had a professor in 1973-5, said that UNIX would take over the world. I got to read the paper published that described UNIX v2. at that time.The UNIX Single UNIX specification was equally clear. That publication became the Industry standards published as POSIX. PS Microsoft did not follow the early PC era - it followed the 1950s and 1960s IBM model. Other companies did too - one severe case was DEC, good software, good engineers, until the bean counters took over. One case was making standard disk controllers, but swapping two wires so that non DEC equipment would not work with the controllers. SGI did the same crap - by taking standards timing and reducing the existing clock skewing - thus non SGI disks would not work with SGI disks making SCSI incompatible. The best computer system I ever used was the DEC PDP-11 line. A 16 bit architecture, that became the foundation for UNIX due to the simple interfacing with hardware it had, and the operating systems followed that simplicity, most effectively with UNIX development. The architecture expanded the address range from 16 bits to 32 bits using another old technology DEC had developed - memory controllers from the 12 bit PDP 1, PDP 8, and PDP 12 lines. which expanded from a 12 bit address (4K limit) to 8 segments of 4K each. Which then caused the first time sharing systems to be developed - giving each terminal attached a virtual 4K PDP 8 processor. The memory controller became the kernel context switch - ANY I/O operation in software was caught by the memory controller and forced a segment change (by definition, segment 0 was the kernel segment which all PDP-8 systems would have, and provided a peripheral register containing the Previous segment number (which was the identity of the segment causing the instruction causing the I/O signal). In older PDP-8s the I/O signal was used to switch the bus from accessing memory to accessing a 12 bit peripheral bus. With the memory controller, the bus was expanded from 12 bit RAM or I/O addressing with 3 additional bits for RAM. (I/O signal was low, and the 12 bit I/O peripheral address used. Operating systems worked. They were simple, easily understood, modified and extended. The PDP-8 line (from PDP-1) had the first computer games ever (Spacewar, and others). Fun for schools as they gave the students a challenge to make the games better. (My version of Spacewar for the PDP-10 was the first program banned by the schools computer center- I was told the ROTC students would take over up to 16 remote terminals to play, and that prevented "normal" use of the computer by professors. The final version of the game included one or two stars, 10 ships per player, and 16 players. I think it could even be counted as one of the first MUD games written, for fun I even included an interplayer communication capability - and a log to see who was backstabbing whom. The log was owned the originating player. Two of us even experimented with adding a speed of light limit to the game. (it worked, and we generated some of the first spiral orbits we ever saw. The game would end when all but one player was eliminated and continued for 10 moves just to prevent "suicide dives" into an enemy fleet (my prediction of a possibility that didn't seem "fair" to allow - if the player died falling into a star after diving into a cluster of orbiting ships of another fleet, just didn't seem right to allow - perfectly acceptable if there were still other ships of the fleet alive, but the last ship diving to opportunisticlly kill the last remaining enemy ships just didn't feel "cricket" as a winning strategy.
