People keep bringing up the very tired “Linux on the desktop” meme to dismiss the Fediverse.
But a meme is just a meme.
In the real world, Linux dominates.
Your phone? Probably Linux. Your car’s infotainment system? Linux. Your router? Linux.
Chromebook? Linux.
Windows has a Linux Subsystem too.
Linux has won.
The “Linux on the desktop” naysayers don’t even realize it.
The Fediverse should be so lucky.
