With lots of things being developed through web technologies, and many things being web-based so that it is cross-platform, will operating systems still be relevant?
We can differ philosophically by using Debian or Arch or Windows or Mac, but if nowadays applications are web-based or developed through something like Electron such that it can run on practically all modern operating systems. what is the relevance of operating systems galore?
Don’t get me wrong I love FOSS and Linux and stuff, but it seems that the paradigm right now is creating web applications, with many things being web-based.
Am I off, or is this something you also think about?
P.S. I’m a total noob when it comes to IT, so the question might be weirdly phrased.
This reminds me of a talk by Rob Pike that was made 23 years ago: https://doc.cat-v.org/bell_labs/utah2000/utah2000.html
This is interesting! Thanks for sharing!
