it's already dead on physical servers

What will replace Linux? BSD?

>>59976568
GNU/Windows

>>59976568
redox-os

>Xen

only dipshits like AWS actually use it over KVM or some nonfree hypervisor like vmware garbage.

Why?

Rust has deprecated all C operating systems.

>>59976568
Probably something like an Urbit unikernel.

>>59976454
What's the alternative?

>only dipshits like AWS actually use it over [...] some nonfree hypervisor like vmware garbage
that makes no sense

>>59976790
depends on what kind of server.
for web hosting Windows is a real alternative with IIES being the most popular web server.

no. linux is a constantly evolving and improving platform. FreeBSD might gain more of a footing, but Linux will stay strong for as long as any of us are alive.

>>59976454
Not if Red Hat's stock price is any indication

>>59976608
Fuck off.

>>59976454
I disagree

>>59976806
>that makes no sense
it does

On really if it gets superseded on the desktop too

I can't imagine a good reason within the span of the next 30 years. It's, free, open source, more secure than anything else by a wide margin and has a plethora of tools made by developers for developers. Windows is crap, Mac servers are just a babby's Linux and everything else is too obscure to catch on.
