What Happened to Linux?

What is the true state of Linux in 2025?
In this video, we take a step back from individual distributions and explore the big picture: how the Linux ecosystem has evolved from a chaotic playground of ideas to a more unified, professional, and standardized environment.

We trace the journey from the golden age of distro diversity, through the ideological battles over systemd and Wayland, to the rise of immutable systems like Fedora Silverblue and NixOS.
Has Linux matured — or lost something essential in the process?

A thought-provoking reflection on freedom, innovation, and the future of Linux.

Disclaimer: The data presented in this video is not based on absolute or scientific measurement, as such a metric does not exist within the Linux ecosystem. Instead, it represents a combination of various sources — including surveys, community polls, and usage statistics — to outline a general trend. This provides a reasonably accurate picture, but with an estimated margin of error that may exceed 10%.
