If anything happen to Linux today, like what happened to Windows, most of the internet would be dead. (lemm.ee)

Who do you think runs those servers? What do you think those companies run on their Linux servers?

Those companies aren't "the Internet." They're products connected to the Internet.

The OP argument is like saying the Internet is dead because Netflix is down.

A lot of people would say the internet was down if a large number of those products weren’t available. Also companies like Google do own parts of the physical Internet infrastructure.
