Why open source linux?

It is the open source that is working.  Open source projectsthat work are projects in which most of the developers have applications in mind, they need a distrributed architecture.  Like xcb, it is really a protocol, almost automatically generated from X itself.  Its success is ecause many other had applications in mind, they needed a better layering.

Snap is another case, a generic binary package format which is isolated from system specifics, a multi-application protocol.

Linux machines are everywhere in the network because of the distributed development nd application protocols. It has always been about collaboration.

Like this join layer, not much there in the join loop, it works because of the attachment concept and the ability to layer specialized grammars on top of LazyJ with thin code.  My application is reading plain human text. But I need joins everywhere to collaborate, partial out the days reading fr the entire enterprise.  I can't make my application until the other apps appear in collaborators minds, and they want a join loop everywhere for their grammar. At that moment we get a consensus on what the base join grammar looks like. Then in my case, wordsmiths can start generating word lists, specialized matching lists they sell to corporations to ferret out the minute details of their market.
