I saw that, and thought it pretty silly. I think he's just trying to make a point using a literary figure, but while the first claim is true, the second isn't. Linux in no sense goes through an "adaptation layer" to run on a z mainframe, any more than it does to run on any other hardware. To be sure, there are some Intelish assumptions in Linux, but they aren't terribly constraining, and the Linux community has mostly been open to removing them.
