Does Linux has a future?

It’s hard to say, but I have a feeling Linux isn’t going anywhere, at least not in the foreseeable future: The server industry is evolving, but it’s been doing so forever. … Linux still has a relatively low market share in consumer markets, dwarfed by Windows and OS X. This will not change anytime soon.

Is Linux going away?

For CentOS Linux 7, which was released in 2014, things are simple: maintenance releases will occur until June 30, 2024 at which point CentOS 7 becomes EOL. For CentOS Linux 8, which was released in 2019, EOL was going to occur in 2029. However, after the announcement, CentOS Linux 8 will go EOL at the end of 2021.
