I actually don't believe that everybody should necessarily try to learn to code. I think it's reasonably specialized, and nobody really expects most people to have to do it. It's not like knowing how to read and write and do basic math.

People will realize that software is not a product; you use it to build a product.

I don't think commercialization is the answer to anything. It's just one more facet of Linux, and not the deciding one by any means.

I never try to make any far-reaching predictions, so much can happen that it simply only makes you look stupid a few years later.

There's a few historical reasons for why git was considered complicated. One of them is that it was complicated. The people who started using git very early on in order to work on the kernel really had to learn a very rough set of scripts to make everything work. All the effort had been on making the core technology work and very little on making it easy or obvious.

What I find most interesting is how people really have taken Linux and used it in ways and attributes and motivations that I never felt.

Linux has definitely made a lot of sense even in a purely materialistic sense.
