Linux has won OS race

Actually it happened in June of 2025, but the process has completed recently, though. After Apple had announced the support of OCI-compatible containers in the June '25 it took a year to complete development and implement full support of continers. Apple had published 1.0 version of own container manager (https://github.com/apple/container). And Microsoft had announced native support of containerization without Docker in Windows 11 (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/wsl-container-is-now-available-for-public-preview/). Now Linux has became the first standard operating system. Now Linux is a part of any major platform: Windows, MacOS, BSD and Linux itself. Knowledge of Linux is now part of learning for any of these systems, at least for developers. And now you can rely on Linux based containers running everywhere. What it is if not a win!?

What's also interesting. Linux can run other Linux distros and with this Alpine Linux could become the most popular version of Linux in the World

While Linux still has many things to improve and there are still obstacles on the Linux's way to become everyday operating system for an average user. It solidified its position in the OS world, and now it's only matter of time when it would change the technological landscape completely

It's the biggest win for the whole open-source software and I believe it should get into history books of technological progress
