I remember in early 2000's trying to convince people to use linux and being mocked that it was a "toy" or "not professional enough". While at the time I tried to argue how it was more stable, more secure and better performant than competition and even arguing that it was improving continuously, some people still made fun of me. It is a good thing I've been able, for a long time, to see this: https://www.top500.org/statistics/list/ , chose Category:"Operating system family" and click "Submit".

The writing has been on the wall since the early Beowulf success stories hit.

I'm pretty bullish on the long term survival of Linux in some form or other, proprietary OS's not so much.

“Linux doesn’t scale” was a common argument in the late 90s/early 2000s. I used to point them at the top 10 supercomputer list.
