I kind of don’t want Linux to become mainstream tbh because then corporate enshittification becomes a much more real threat.

That’s why you just use a community run distro. Also if the kernel it self gets enshittified then I’m sure there will be a fork someone will make. Heck right now there’s the libre kernel that is just the Linux kernel with no proprietary blobs

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.
