Grass-Roots-OS

Gnu/Linux has been my primary operating system since 2010. Gnu/Linux and supporting communities are self governing and self organizing. So there are no executives in charge of deciding the direction of the software for the entire community. The Gnu/Linux and it's software communities are maintained by literally (a word I think that's overused these days) thousands of volunteers around the world. Not to mention, many Free software projects are also supported by companies and many participants are not volunteers. In some cases corporations have even donated software they created to the open source community, and corporations have donated money and or personnel to contribute to the free software community. 

One quick example, DreamWorks Animation  announced this year their intent to release their proprietary production renderer, MoonRay, as open source software. MoonRay is the driving force behind movies like, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

Why did DreamWorks open source such a powerful program?

"The appetite for rendering at scale grows each year, and MoonRay is set to meet that need.We expect to see the code base grow stronger with community involvement as DreamWorks continues to demonstrate our commitment to open source."--Andrew Pearce, VP of Global Technology at DreamWorks

So in other words they expect more people  outside their organization to be involved in the maintaining and the development of MoonRay when the code base opens. With more people working on upgrading and improvements that's less time and money they have to spend on upgrading and improvements. A win-win for everybody.

When you check both major and minor Hollywood studio portfolios you will find time and time again, The GrassRootsOS  has played a huge role in successes of many Hollywood mega blockbusters. It's not just the community that surrounds it. It's not just the the low cost of implementing free software. It's mainly because of the  unmatched performance it offers that easily outshines what windows or Mac OS offers.

Conclusion

Gnu/Linux and free software has transformed our world for the better It’s in our homes, our businesses, and our governments. For for most people in the world Gnu/Linux works just like Windows or macOS operating system. You can browse the web, watch streaming services, update your social media accounts, check your emails, use Office applications, read PDF documents, listen to music or watch videos, and view, edit or manage your photos.
