The biggest company in the world vs dozen of fat nerds keeping a system as a hobby. Who would win?

BOTH, That's the beauty of it. If the fat nerds come up with some sick new thing, it eventually gets added to the corpo distro. Meanwhile the big company can liaison with hardware vendors for drivers so that the fat nerds can spin it into their niche distro (e.g. new CPU compatibility)
