> Linux should be a part of School Education

The concept of "open source" should be part of school education.

We don't need thousands of proprietary version of the same thing. That's a HUGE waste of resources on literally every level.

All we need is 1 version that is accessible, clone-able, and modifiable for everybody.

Imagine where humanity could be today if we had used that approach right from the start and for every single product out there.

You surely meant the concept of "free software", right? RIGHT?

That is exactly the model Linux has offered for over two decades now. If it was such a good model, systems like Windows and MacOS should now be history.

But those proprietary systems still dominate.

And they still dominate because money still dominates what we do. We run after the money (= have power over the others), not after what creates sense in our lives. This is probably the most central value and problem in our culture. When that will be gone, life will be worth so much more.
