In the film industry, Linux has won. It's running on practically all servers
and desktops used for feature animation and visual effects. LinuxMovies.org met
monthly in Hollywood for years, but now rarely meets.
Linux is used to create practically every blockbuster movie in theaters today,
movies produced by Disney/Pixar, DreamWorks Animation, Sony, ILM, and other
studios.
Linux is the most popular operating system for big budget feature film
animation and visual effects, with more than 95% of the servers and desktops at
large animation and visual effects companies. People outside the film industry,
and even inside the industry sometimes, don't realize that Linux is so big at
large studios. Linux is the norm in Hollywood and considered the
state-of-the-art. In this upside-down world where Windows and Mac are minority
operating systems, Linux evangelists would be hard-pressed to find anyone left
to convert. The free operating system built by the people for the people has
been embraced foremost by film studios.
Hollywood prefers Linux because in the right hands it's better, faster and
cheaper. At large companies that have thousands of servers and desktops, the
economy and massive efficiency of Linux is felt most. At smaller production
companies, Windows or Macs are often more popular because economy of scale
doesn't apply. Despite that, some small shops run primarily Linux. Some
production companies use a mixed environment. For example, South Park is
produced using Mac desktops with Linux servers. Although king in the film
industry, Linux is rarely seen in the television industry due to much more
modest computer needs.
Unlike Windows or Macintosh, no company owns Linux. Developers at many
companies contribute code to Linux which is available for free and runs on all
types of computer hardware. Companies such as HP, Dell, IBM, Verari, Boxx, and
others build Linux systems to film industry specifications.
LinuxMovies.org is a group of over 300 technologists helping each other support
Linux in film industry applications and advancing Linux motion picture
technology.
