The fight for privacy stubbornly continued although all the powers of the world go down the surveillance parth.

Idealistic but probably hopeless....
Governments want the Big Brother states and people do not care. :boohoo: :wall:

One day it might be too late to regret,

Linux dominates the internet of things phones and servers - more than ever before.

Linux for desktops is coming... but desktops are going....

Mint remained the no 1 desktop distro for beginners to try.

Redhat keeps a dominant position in the Server market.

Microsoft started to love Linux!

Ubuntu and Canonical established themselves as a realistic alternative for businesses.

Munich stayed with Linux despite the traditional "Windows will return rumors".

Desktops are on the way out and Linux are saving them. Perhaps, they are reborned as Linux Home Servers. People might be getting ready for an Internet debacle. FBook cannot be trusted, Twatter not even, Cloud Services are a disaster waiting to happen.... The "future" might reside on home stand alone systems. Some like Hillary Clinton's famous mail server. Easier to issue a court order to access any eMail Service to view any records, stand alone... a nightmare to deal with so many out there.
