From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I never thought of it as a directed or steered consistent and homogeneous movement of Linux/FOSS etc.
Personally I think the future is, hardware wise, for personal computing use on the phone=pc direction.
Most of my personal stuff i do is on having everything synced (thx syncthing) using sustainable file standards.
And looking at my phone its close to my budget pc hardware wise, so not that far from becoming reality.
But I think FOSS does have a hard time pushing for this on the software side. Its not that simple to provide interoperability etc. For additional devices and specific hardware configs.
Based on my working environment I think the cloud will be the future. However in this realm proprietary software will be the inevitable winner here.
I never got the hinge on mac os. So I have no opinion on that one.
