It’s time for other countries to create their own operating systems again

We’ve been doing it for a long time. Linus is from Finland.

Currently, Linux Foundation resides in the US, though.

what counts as an "operating system"? is it enough to just create another linux distro? is it enough to just fork the distro and add a new visual design to it?

Be honest, you just hope that the sheer amount of resources will lead to some country finally finish https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Hurd

Reminds me of Microsoft killing Nokia and their new Linux phones.

Was it because of this guy?

Japan tried to walk where Terry Davis was running laps

I doubt it would've won anyway. There were loads of OS's at that time, most not having the issue of the US government intervening, and none of them won either.

Had the japenese not been spooked by the sugestion it waa a threat(which was cleared up as not being one) it totally could have been adopted nationwide, as it was ready to deploy to their schools.

And today we have BSD as the basis of Apples OS.

Microsoft has gone from say 85% market share down to the 60s now I think.

Maybe we will see a day MS loses to Linux since that hit 10% use last month, and has over 15% use in India.

MS certainly is not helping themselves win lately.
