If Linux was dominant it wouldn’t be Linux. There would be more pressure to monetize and there would always be someone willing to sell out for that money. You can see this even in the Linux community today. I’m sorry I had to be so negative about it though, it sounds nice.

I don’t see anyone outside so it checks out.
They are all learning how to use the terminal.
They are inside trying to compile the software thst opens the automatic doors.
They will die there, because they need a slightly older version of some minor library for compatibility, and nobody cared enough to continue hosting it.
Not really. Having heterogeneity among operating systems is better than pure homogeneity. Say, if everyone ran Linux, and some massive security flaw was discovered, we would all be screwed at the same time. However, if we ran different stuff, and some massive security hole was found for just one operating system, then only a small portion of the world is vulnerable at once. Besides, more operating systems can lead to more innovation, as long as there is good competition between them.
The problem is capitalism, not which kernel everything runs. And the reason FOSS isn't universal is also capitalism.
It's more complicated to make money producing FOSS, capitalism or not. Lots of reasonable developers would still choose closed source even without capitalism.
Making money is a capitalist adjacent idea. The premise that we need money to figure out how to allocate resources is foolish
I'm still waiting for someone to propose in detail an alternative.
Aren’t the majority of computers already on Linux? Unless you mean desktops
they miss the statue of Linus Torvalds
No, you missed the homeless encampments, forest fires and car centric cities.
There's no apt install utopia.
Because you have forgotten sudo
Would expect the architecture to be a bit more on the brutalist side of things
No, because everyone would be sitting around jacking each other off about using linux, if current trends are to be believed.
No place for bazaar. Looks more like corporations wet dream.
So you mean we would have weird useless concrete structures everywhere? I doubt it
Linux kernel
Nah bro, chrome OS is fucking ridiculous not to mention android too.
We need the other linux not just kernel.
Until the moment someone finds a privilage escalation bug.
No, firewalls should use openBSD
Why?
I've tried to Google this, but it's such a general statement I can't find anything about it.
Is it more mature in that regard? Sane/sensible/safe defaults for networking? More tools as part of the distribution for networking?
Did FreeBSD (or it's predecessor/upstream/whatever) define the standards, so the implementation is more correct?
Or is it just that so many firewall applications run on top of FreeBSD (or a BSD flavour) eg opnSense, pfSense, openWRT (is openWRT actually BSD, idk)?
So, kinda a historical/momentum thing. With the benefits of wide spread specific use
I personally don't have a lot of experience with this, but here's a writeup about OpenBSD: https://nxdomain.no/~peter/what_every_it_person_needs_to_know_about_openbsd.html
Is that image supposed to represent an utopia?
Its urban hell, but a few more trees
Nah, industrial and infrastructure should mostly use BSD. And "Never see a command line" consumer OS's should generally be forks from Linux or other FOSS. Most Linux distros have come a long way and are ready for gaming prime time, but fail the "80 year old grandma who wants to digitise her record collection but is a bit unclear on double-clicking" test.

I would not agree
but GNU?
Probably done in jest, but this reads like the 100,000,000th “agree?” bullshit post on LinkedIn.
“But if we put all the world’s shares into Linux, the other Kernel Patron Units would be incapacitated!”
… I doubt anyone will get this reference.
