| So much, I know a lot of these have already been said so forgive me if I repeat some that others have said, - 80-90% of the web's servers (something like nginx 35%, Apache 30%, cloudflare 20% who I believe run Linux for a large chunk of their infrastructure, litespeed 10%) - stock market. I've read a number of articles discussing how NYSE, Tokyo, and NASDAQ run their trades and servers on Linux. - internet infrastructure: From Linux to ssl to VPN sooooo much of internet's infrastructure is open source. From the servers to the protocols to the stacks. I don't have hard numbers but I'd be comfortable guessing at least 3/4 of the net's infra is open source. - Git - Firefox - Wikipedia - Home Assistant - OBS - Linux - VLC - DaVinci Resolve is rising soooo fast for video editing, and for good reason. Once you move out of the consumer/hobbyist tier or beyond Premiere and more into pro-tier hardware Resolve is fucking incredible. It will be a couple of years before it displaces Avid's strangle hold on the film industry, but it's going to happen. - Blender encoders, while you may not notice it, a ton of the media we consume is coded with open source, from: - AV1 of Netflix/Amazon/Youtube fame - VP9 - x264 - x265 - Apple Lossless, etc... - ffmpeg - Android is built off AOSP. - Wordpress And obviously I'm missing thousands of used-in-production very "succesful" projects. |
