The Linux community is heading for a clash between three disparate groups with very different goals and agendas. We’ve already seen some light skirmishes between them already. Sometimes these groups will align for the purposes of advancing their own views, but for the most part, these three groups will either destroy Linux as we know it or have to learn how to get along. Just about the only thing these groups have in common are the passion for their viewpoints. Can these three groups get along in the end and work toward a common goal? Will Linux be pulled apart and allow Windows to win by default?

Hopefully we can all look at these groups critically and poke a little fun at ourselves along the way. This is a passionate topic and I’m sure to get some hate mail for this piece, but hopefully you’ll get a good laugh while you light up your flamethrower. ;-) Am I stereotyping here? Yeah, pretty much. Just enjoy the piece.

The first group - Philosophical Linux User

The second group - Business Linux User

The third group - Home Linux User
