It's not so much that Linux is dead, but rather it is perhaps finished. The computers 'to-die-for' now, are no longer the Windows machines but the Android and Apple computers.
Clearly, they both are Linux derivates. So in a way, commercial Linux won out. There's little that really can be done on an activism front. Because that is just appstore or whatever they call it. So in a way, Linux is 'finished'. But finished in so far as it is now complete, useable and stable.
