Do you know you use GNU / Linux unknowingly everyday. I bet you didn't 🙂 While reading my daily sites among which is Linux Weekly News
I came across a very interesting video which the Linux Foundation created. The video is quite nice to see. It has a bit of a technical mambo jambo which ordinary "non-englightened computer" user will not understand completely, however the main message is quite clear. The video displays, how everyday by using Google Facebook, Wikipedia, Amazon and many other Web based services.
You untentionally become a Linux user 🙂
There is almost no person among the developed nations that doesn't have access to the internet already. Facebook already has about a billion of users the computer internet users are more than 1/3 of all the population more than 2 billion as of time of writting this post
The internet has already completely revolutionized our lives and it continues doing it. The rapid development of the internet was also more or less achieved thanks to GNU / Linux and free software which enabled non programmers to use cheap and affordable software to build tremendous Software As a Service Systems (SASS) as most of the free email services, search engines, photo sharing services, blogs you name it.
From the desktop computers Linux and plenty of free software has moved to the Mobile platforms, where it ruled the market similar to the server market. Nowdays anyone who owns android phone is running some kind of modification of the Linux kernel. MeeGO Google Phone and other "open" mobile phone architectures are more and more ruling the mobile market. Linux is also widely used along a lot of other critical services in critical information data systems like in Governments, Railway stations, Global Markets, Stock Exchange platforms, the list goes on and on. Some of the other areas Linux is heavily used is in National Security, Mobile networks, High End servers, police stations etc. etc.
The rate of adoption of Linux is steadily increasing day by, day and this is not strange since it is completely free to use by anyone for everything he might imagines.
