The way that the Linux ecosystem mirrors biological ones is something I find beautiful, and believe will ensure the long-term survival of open systems even in a majority closed world.
Windows 10 is dead, and has one descendant.
I couldn't even venture a guess to the number of living Linux distributions. I guess there are roughly 6 major families? When one becomes abandoned or makes a fatal mistake and dies, there is almost guaranteed to be a close living relative that survives.
The fact that they all share the vast majority of the same "genes" and swap them around as freely as bacteria swap plasmids mean that even a seemingly distant cousin that seems unsuited for a given niche can be adapted to it.
What's not to love.
Nano is a very popular gene
