Indeed "Linux is a server" is not well said.
I meant to say "Linux is a multiuser system" and it has always been, so one can
reasonably expect software installation to deal with it with ease.
There are certainly advantages in the ~/.opam design decision, but I have yet to find

And very true, I was not prepared for irony on this point.
