Why do servers and supercomputers primarily run on Linux and not on some Microsoft/Apple/Google/Amazon OS? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Most servers around the world run Linux. The same goes for almost all supercomputers. That's astonishing in a capitalist world where absolutely everything is commodified. Why can't these big tech companies manage to sell their own software to server operators or supercomputers? Why is an open, free project that is free for users so superior here?

Pretty much the same reason folks use shitty FB rather than Mastodon - it is made super simple and Mastodon requires a modicum of thought.
The general population is super lazy and not bright at all. Also the reason we have a fat moron, malignant narcissistic, orange lying liar ,rapist, felon, president.
