After the November 2017 issue, the Linux Journal will cease publication.
It looks like we’re at the end, folks. If all goes according to a plan we’d rather not have, the November issue of Linux Journal was our last.
The simple fact is that we’ve run out of money, and options along with it. We never had a wealthy corporate parent or deep pockets of our own, and that made us an anomaly among publishers, from start to finish. While we got to be good at flying close to the ground for a long time, we lost what little elevation we had in November, when the scale finally tipped irrevocably to the negative.

Haven't run a Linux machine for 20 years now. Why? Cygwin. On the other hand I spent a good decade making a good living writing various device drivers for linux.
Somehow my career went 180 degrees from where I thought it would. In other words, I use Cygwin so I can run Windows and still make money. I always figured my Linux kernel and device driver experience would require me to always have a box that could boot Linux.
When the dust settled America realized it was saved by a porn star.

Well, you still have a machine that can boot Linux, but it is a bit more virtual in nature.
