@LambdaCalculus I'd be the "hapless techno-weenie" from Hackers. When I discovered Linux, I was a corporate drone grumbling about the severe failings of Windows NT 4 server.
I watched as the free software movement pushed juggernauts like Microsoft back into their corner and restored balance to the market. It was enlightened self-interest in action.
Now, our juggernauts are AWS, etc, and we really need viable free alternatives for both clouds and corporations.
