Instructor: Hey, folks.
In this video, we will go over and understand
where Linux going to be in 10 or 15 years.
Is it going to be replaced completely
by another operating system
or something that comes along
like artificial intelligence that takes over?
Well, you might be wrong because Linux is going to be around
for many, many years to come.
The future of Linux is likely to be influenced
by several prevailing trends
and is expected to see continued evolution
and growth in various sectors.
And, of course, I am going to go over
all those sectors one by one
so you will have a better understanding
where Linux is going to be many, many years from now.
So we'll go over several prediction
regarding the future trajectory of Linux.
The first one is continued dominance in cloud and servers.
Hmm, well, cloud and servers.
Well, isn't that everybody is trying to get into the cloud?
They think there's so many jobs.
The real future is the cloud,
but have you ever thought the actual operating system
that supports the cloud is actually,
or (chuckles) I would say mostly Linux operating system?
Yes, Linux is already a leading operating system
for web servers, cloud platforms, and supercomputers.
It's likely to maintain and even strengthen its position
in these domains due to its stability,
security and flexibility.
The next one is development
in machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Linux is likely to continue being at the forefront
of high-performance computing, machine learning
and artificial intelligence with ongoing developments
and optimization in related libraries and tools.
No matter what comes in our way,
whether it's artificial intelligence, virtualization,
robotics, all of those have to run
on some kind of operating system, right?
So the best operating system that they could find to run,
which is so secure and customizable is, of course, Linux.
Then growth in enterprise adoption.
More enterprises are likely to adopt Linux
for their IT infrastructure,
given its lower total cost of ownership,
robust security features, and high-customization capability.
Now, you ask yourself, which operating system
with such a low cost gives you so much security
and allows you to customize it as well
according to the requirement of your application?
Okay, moving on, advancement in security.
Of course, security enhancement
is the major, major game changer
that will continue to be the focus
with developments in security features
and more distributions
focusing on privacy and security.
Moving on to development in edge computing.
With the rise of Internet of Things and edge computing,
Linux especially lightweight distributions
are well positioned to be the operating system
of choice for edge devices and gateways.
Then increased or presence
in mobile industry.
Linux-based Androids already has a massive share
in mobile operating system.
There could be further developments, improvements,
and possibly new Linux-based mobile operating system.
Then moving on, widespread use in automotive
and embedded system.
Yes, all those cars that you drive nowadays,
those fancy cars with Car Plays and all those new features
all supported by Linux-embedded system.
So Linux is rapidly growing in embedded systems
and the automotive industry, powering everything
for infotainment systems to fully autonomous vehicles.
Then comes enhancement
in containerization and virtualization.
Linux will likely to continue to play a pivotal role
in ongoing trends in containerization
and virtualization technologies with enhancement
in related projects and tools.
Most of the virtualization systems,
whether that's virtualization on Amazon, on VMware,
all those virtualization, the underlying hypervisor
that support virtualization are actually built on Linux.
Then we have open-source development.
The development and enhancement of Linux
will continue to be driven by the global community
of contributors and the adoption of open-source principles,
fostering innovation and collaboration.
All right, moving on to another one.
Integrated with other systems.
So improved integration with other operating systems
could be a focus to ensure seamless operation
in multi-operating system environment.
In essence, the future of Linux is very bright,
and it seems to expand its footprint
across many various technology sectors
and continue to be the pioneer
for innovation in computing world.
