Around year 1999. No particular reason, just it seems to have gained recognition and approval among the big fish then.
If by “when” you mean analytically, then when it stopped being “a hobby project started by a Finnish student with participation of volunteers from all around the world” and became one of the houses of power.
Oh. It’s you again. Good to see your shallow takes haven’t changed.
Can’t you have the foresight to actually read and research why things like the FOSS projects we rely on are validated? Linux is owned by no one, and is used by everyone who wants to. Plain and simple. More adoption and more contributors means a better experience for the end user and the developer.
Corporate users are a feature, not a bug, and if anything, their adoption does more to cement the success of the project more than anything else. Plus, the Linux kernel can be wrapped into many different distros designed for transparency, why not pick your favorite one, instead of the “corporate standard”?

I don’t remember you, but I get Dunning-Krueger vibes from things you write which seem to be typical “Linux as a success story” quotes without insight.

I prefer to observe them in the wild. I mean, that is what’s called research, but it strongly seems that you by research mean something else.

This is as fallacious as “scientific communism” and for the same reason. Because there are dimensions of this where the general consensus of those actually applying resources is neutrality, where it works as you say, and there are dimensions where it’s not.
Or you might read that Karl Popper’s article on the blind zones of dialectics. Corporate participation in a big common open project works similarly to dialectics.

Having a stronger Prussia did nothing of the sort for the HRE, and having Ustinov as minister of defense with all his power did nothing of the sort for the USSR, and Google did nothing of the sort for the Web.
But I prefer to live this through with many things today, rather than try to fix it to my limited ability.
Took you off the blocklist 'cause you’re a great source of entertainment. Really elevates my day after my morning coffee.
I lurk a lot, and I tend to remember names in active communities after a few days. There’s some amazing people in our communities, who contribute in good faith and with rational citations.
And then there’s you. Refusing to perform a simple trip to Wikipedia to find the proper evidence in writing that validated the “Typical Linux success story” to begin with.

(Linus’s law Wikipedia article, take the time to read and download The Cathedral and The Bazaar so you can read arguments for the current model that aren’t fresh from your ass)
Oh and Caesar from Fallout: New Vegas called, he wants his misrepresentation of dialectics and philosophy back, you ignoramus prick.
