Nero is something of a fidgeter when he isn't consciously trying to keep it under control. Years of Garlean military influence had schooled the behavior out of him, but as a "redeemed" man the trait had quickly rehomed itself. Here, standing in front of the elevator, Nero fidgets, foot tapping restlessly, thumb rubbing circles over his hand, other hand drumming against the side of the manilla folder he has tucked beneath his arm.

All of that action stops the moment the elevator opens to reveal the visage of one Cid Garlond -- a Cid Garlond who had been going out of his way to avoid Nero, as he was wont to do, a Cid Garlond who had neatly disproven Nero's theory the other day during an Ironworks meeting and whom Nero was since trying to avoid, nursing his injured pride. For a moment Nero just stares at Cid. Then he clicks his tongue irritatedly, striding into the elevator. Iron jaws close shut behind him. It's just an elevator ride. He has dealt with gods from other worlds--this would be a cakewalk.

Famous last words -- there's a sudden rumble and a shudder and the lights in the elevator flicker, the floor suddenly unsteady, and Nero loses his balance and the papers in his folder spill onto the floor when he goes to steady himself by placing a hand against the wall. The elevator groans to a stop, and almost immediately Nero realizes that they are going to be stuck here for a while, staring dismally at the sea of blueprints and formula on the elevator floor.

​It’s strange how quickly Nero has forgotten the biting chill of Garlemald after spending so much time in warmer climates. Once upon a time the dreary weather would have given him nothing more than a shrug, an extra layer beneath his fur coat, and a hot travel mug between his hands, but now nothing seems to remedy his shivering no matter how closely he stands to the space heater afforded to their camp.

We live in a world built on invisible infrastructure. Not bridges and highways, but protocols, operating systems, and networks that shape our digital lives. And at the heart of this unseen scaffolding lies Linux: the quiet conqueror, the unsung hero, and the blueprint for the freedom tech revolution.

Linux: The Foundation You Never See

Linux is like oxygen for the internet, essential, everywhere, but rarely noticed. Nearly 90% of cloud infrastructure runs on it. It powers 90% of web servers. Every single one of the top 500 supercomputers uses it. Your Android phone? Runs on a Linux kernel. The router you're connected to right now? Probably Linux.

It has scaled to billions of devices, silently, securely, and without centralized control. No ads. No corporate overlord. Just code written by thousands of contributors across the globe, improving the system because they believe in it.

Linux didn’t need permission. It just worked. It kept improving. And it kept spreading.

Freedom Tech: Defined

"Freedom tech" isn’t a buzzword. It’s the category for any tool, platform, or protocol that enhances individual sovereignty. That means it’s:

Open-source

Permissionless

Borderless

Resilient

Immune to corporate or governmental capture

Linux is all of those things. And it set the precedent.

From Linux to Bitcoin: A Logical Progression

If Linux is the operating system of the internet, Bitcoin is the operating system of value.

Bitcoin didn’t come out of nowhere. It followed the same ethos: open-source, community-driven, and radically decentralized. Where Linux freed computation, Bitcoin is freeing capital.

That’s why people who understand Linux usually “get” Bitcoin. It’s the same freedom fight, just a different layer of the stack.

Why This Matters More Than Ever

The centralized systems of the 20th century are cracking. Surveillance capitalism, bloated bureaucracy, rigged financial institutions—none of them are built for the digital age. They’re relics running on outdated software.

But Linux? Still running strong. Still evolving. Still free.

And now we’re seeing the rise of other freedom tech in its image:

Signal for private communication

Mastodon for social networking

Bitcoin for money

Matrix for decentralized messaging

IPFS for storage and data sharing

All of them owe a philosophical debt to Linux.

The Blueprint Holds

If you want to future-proof your life, study Linux, not just how it works, but why it works. It’s more than code; it’s a manifesto in motion.

Want privacy? Linux.

Want control over your machine? Linux.

Want to build sovereign tools? Start with what Linux taught us: openness, collaboration, and decentralization.

Final Thoughts

The future doesn’t belong to closed systems. It belongs to communities, to protocols, to tools that anyone can build with, audit, and improve.

Linux showed us how to win without centralization. It’s the prototype for digital freedom. And its playbook is now being used to upgrade everything, from finance to communication.

So if you want to know what the future looks like, don’t look to Silicon Valley.

Look to Linux.

Tick Tock. Next Block.
