Linux and Open Source Software: Applying the Learnings of the Past to the Future

on YouTube ↗23m

" summary

IDC data traces Linux from infrastructure foothold to mainstream OS, showing top-down adoption doubled in the early 2000s and steady commercial growth as cloud images drive nonpaid distro scale. Biggest barriers remain skills shortages, so enterprises favor commercially supported open‑source products. Cloud‑native development happens alongside legacy systems rather than by wholesale replacement, with containerization and orchestration rising fast and many organizations deploying at least a dozen containerized apps and using lift-and-shift strategies to migrate existing workloads.
