<p>I installed it about 10 years ago. Great, so now I have a
mainframe, but no OS - to get z/OS required a license and a dongle
(license key), but I wasn't going to pay for it.</p>
<p>And that is why Linux won the OS wars - it's no-cost and runs on
almost everything, so everyone can use it and learn about it.
IBM/Kyndryl is so locked up on "pay me to use it" that they've
almost lost their entire customer base.<br>
