Linux is great but is no new paradigm

The Linux operating system and in general all the open source software are an important technical and social development as collaborative non-commercial projects.
Running apart from the Microsoft herd can allow one to be more creative and less commercial but it doesn’t make much difference if the direction is still the same. Linux looks more and more like Windows and I don’t see any substantial difference in how people approach and use a computer.
Still, the inner experience with Linux gives space for a more creative approach in the user experience, though limited mostly to the creativity of the attitudes which pertain to the linear and cause/effect paths to cognition.
