Is it a good new ? Can this new make reviving Linux in the public market, or only in the professional cloud market ?

I don't know. It's better that IBM buys than others, I guess. When Novell bought SuSE the results were not so bad.
However I never liked Red Hat that much, so the question for me is rather what effect it will have on Gnome and systemd dominance.
Luckily (I hope) no one can buy Debian...
oh well, i'd say it is already bought .. remember systemd? that undocumented pestilence is growing like ragweed.
As to Linux in the public market, it could be good for Linux in administrations, they would like the IBM backing. For the "average user" the reasons to prefer Windows are different: closed source (and only one system) makes drivers more available, games, and MS Office...
"Games" is the way to get users ... feed them when they are small, harvest later :-)
