Linuxtorvalds and Brielle were stunned for a moment.

After working hard for so many years with their enthusiasm for Linux, they suddenly discovered the most realistic problem: Yes, they did not consider the development of Linux from the perspective of users.

Lin Zheng took a breath and continued, "Yes, Linux is now developing at an unprecedented booming speed, but in fact, we all know that the first thing that is interested in Linux is the governments of various countries. The possible vulnerabilities and backdoors of Windows make them have to consider their own information security. If there is an operating system that can replace Windows and be more secure and reliable, they will of course support this operating system. The support of various countries' governments can achieve the present moment.

Although he was unwilling to take over, Linuxtorvalds and Briel still nodded silently. Linux has aroused strong interest from governments since its emergence. The Finnish government is the main funding supporter of the Linux system. Without government support, Linuxtorvalds could not imagine whether Linux can reach today. The driving role reflected by the government in the development of Linux is incomparable to any computer or network disk enthusiast.

"I heard that international large computer manufacturers like ibm and HP are also very interested in Linux, but they are more willing to deploy Linux to their server products. Stability and reliability are the reasons why they value Linux. But the problem is that I just mentioned. How can server vendors such as ibm and HP convince those companies that are interested in purchasing servers to use Linux systems? Free Linux systems have become the most worrying thing for enterprise users. They don't care about spending some money to ensure the security of their company's data and the stable operation of the servers, but they are definitely unwilling to take advantage of this little."

"Ibm and HP want to convince their customers, there are only two ways. One is to organize a linux system research and development team, actively communicate with linux enthusiasts on the Internet, absorb their wisdom to improve their products, and ultimately provide paid system maintenance services to customers who are convinced by them; the second method is to cooperate with you and pay you a certain fee to develop a specially optimized linux system for their systems. This is the only possible linux method, but not to mention whether large companies such as ibm and HP are willing to do this, and whether their company's lifeblood will be held in the hands of others. At the same time, this also goes against the open source and freedom purpose you originally formulated in the development of Linux - I'm very strange. Have you never thought about these issues?"

Linuxtorvalds and Brielle's forehead were sweating profusely. They did not think of such a long-term problem, especially Linux, who did not worry about the prototype of the Linux system in 1991 to the current version 1.0. He was more immersed in the ocean of technology and could not extricate himself. However, he completely forgot to think about the distant future for his "children". No one has ever said these words to him. With the financial support of governments and consortiums, he naturally would not think about this problem without worrying about funds and life.

Lin Zheng's words were like lightning breaking through the world, awakening Linuxtorvalds from the self-world he had created before. He was anxious and even a little panicked to grab Lin Zheng's hand, "Lin, do you have answers to these questions?"

Linux is his child. He has invested countless blood and feelings in it, just like watching his child grow up day by day. I hope he can meet a cute girl in love, get married, have children, and have his own family. Linuxtorvalds definitely doesn't want to see that his child will eventually become a "bachelor" that no girls like.

"I've just thought about this problem recently," Lin Zheng spread his hands and said with a wry smile, "I don't think this is a easy problem..."

"Oh..." Linuxtorvalds and Brielle's faces were all a little disappointed. They thought Lin Zheng had said so much, and there was something good that would be possible. It turned out that was not the case, but vaguely, the two felt a little comfortable in their hearts: That's right, this is normal...

Before all the thoughts in their minds came out, Lin Zheng continued slowly, "But he has a little idea."

"What?" linuxtorvalds suddenly stared at the top: Is there any idea? How is it possible?

It's so incredible. Just now, this guy was still saying that he was thinking about this problem. Obviously, there was no way out. Is there a way to think in the blink of an eye?

Briel still couldn't accept it, but Linuxtorvalds couldn't care so much. His reaction was like those mothers who saw their son 30 and had no partner yet heard someone willing to introduce their son to their partner. He grabbed Lin Zheng's hand in surprise, "Lin, do you really have a solution?"

"I can't say the solution, it's just a way of thinking," Lin Zheng calmly pulled his hand out of the hand of Linuxtorvalds. He was not used to being held by a man in such a proud way, and said, "One is to do some customized services under the premise of open source? According to the needs of customers, this system can be greatly improved in a certain function? For example, for those users who focus on security, they can build a system based on security, and tailor a more stable system for those customers who focus on stability. Of course, these are charged. In this process, certain economic materials should be given to those who contribute their wisdom, which can be regarded as a recognition of their knowledge and contribution... Do you think that they, including your knowledge, are worthless?"

Linuxtorvalds subconsciously shook his head: Of course, this will not be the case, no one thinks that their knowledge is worthless.

But they instinctively rejected Lin Zheng's decision: Is this kind of Linux still the open source that they insist on, free Linux? As believers of the firm open source concept, in their opinion, this is simply the beginning of linux commercialization, which goes against the original spirit of linux.

"Is there any other way?" Linuxtorvalds shook his head and asked Lin Zheng.

"This method doesn't work. Don't say another method, I guess you won't agree." Lin Zheng said with a wry smile.

Of course there are better methods, but this requires the wireless data transmission speed of telecom operators in various countries to reach a considerable speed, but Lin Zheng did not intend to tell this method.

However, Lin Zheng's expression immediately fell into the eyes of Linuxtorvalds and Brielle: Perhaps this other method is a more radical commercialization strategy, which of course is not possible.

With this awareness, the three of them avoided this topic intentionally or unintentionally in the subsequent communication. The content of the communication is more limited to the level of technology. Simple technical communication is much more broad, from the general development direction to the technical framework, from the imagination of the future to the application of Linux... As for the details of technology, with the level and attainments of the three, no need for others to teach. At their level, it is more about looking at personal vision and thinking creation ability. As for details like "code migrant workers", it is not what they consider at all.

The three of them had a great time chatting. During dinner, Lin Zheng enthusiastically stayed with Linuxtorvalds and Briel for dinner here, and he treated her to her.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tan Na pulled Lin Zheng aside and asked in a low voice in confusion, "Why didn't you tell them about porting the Linux system to the handheld device?"

Taking this opportunity to talk to Linuxtorvalds and Brielle about the porting of Linux systems to handheld electronic devices. Lin Zheng decided before, but what surprised her was that Lin Zheng had never talked to Linuxtorvalds. Brielle had talked about this issue. She had just listened quietly to the three of them and acted as a listener. Now that Linuxtorvalds and Brielle left, she could not help it.

"Didn't you notice? Now isn't the time to talk to them about this issue? Their minds are now improving on Linux. How can they think about these things?" Lin Zheng said in a low voice.

"It seems to be," Tan Na nodded, agreeing, "Will we set up a linux group in the future? I think you attach great importance to this operating system."

"Well, whether you can fight Microsoft in the future may depend on Linux."
