Will Linux die in 2018?

After reading the OP I release that the main problem is that he sees a user market where as the real market is corperate, server and super computer levels where millions of computers are sold.

Does the OP honestly think that intel has many developers working on the linux kernel for some kind of fun day out? no it's because Intel knows full well that their kit MUST work with linux if they are to sell all those server computers, high tech rack units and even super computer components.

I don't feel up to reading the first post entirely at the moment, but I'll answer anyway:

No, Linux will live on, if not in any other form (absolute worst case scenario), then it will atleast always be there in the way books are there in "Fahrenheit 451", the novel by Ray Bradbury / Film by Francois Truffaut. Viva la revolucion!
