“By 2019, Linux was the most widely used operating system, including in Microsoft's offerings and is thus described as dominant.”
What does this even mean? Most widely used in what sense (there’s no context to clarify)? What does it mean for it to be described as dominant, and why does that matter (“described as xyz” especially when xyz is subjective, shouldn’t be used in a Wikipedia article unless describing a specific person’s option, identified as such).
I’m sure this article is full of this kind of thing; I mean, the fact that most cloud computing would have to be Linux-based by default and pretty much always has been is either obvious to the reader or requires a more detailed explanation, depending on their level of technological literacy. I can’t do so due to a currently hectic schedule but this article needs a major overhaul at least and probably a complete rewrite – not just because of quality issues, but also because it’s an increasingly mainstream topic that isn’t well understood by the average person and it should therefore be a high priority for Wikipedia to have a clear, accurate, accessible, and fully sourced article on the topic.
I think the lead should just contain a definition of what cloud computing is, and maybe one or two facts related to that definition. I have decided to remove the following section because I think that a) it clutters up the lead far too much b) a lot of the facts presented would fit better in other sections, such as History.
The availability of high-capacity networks, low-cost computers and storage devices as well as the widespread adoption of hardware virtualization, service-oriented architecture and autonomic and utility computing has led to growth in cloud computing.[1][2][3] As of 2017, 90% of the public cloud runs a Linux-based operating system.[4] Clouds may be limited to a single organization (enterprise or private clouds[5][6]), or be available to multiple organizations (public cloud).
I cannot read this crap because it disgusts my senses. 62.165.157.33 (talk) 06:04, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
