I have been wondering about tech unicorns and Linux.

If anyone read up to here it would be much appreciated if you could
tell me that I cannot make a tech unicorn, as this will then motivate
me for the next few years while I get to the gluing of this shiny
horn to this currently very unwilling horse :)

Possibly you could capture a unicorn.

from tvtropes.org:

One of the most archetypal and well-known traits of the Unicorn is its affinity for virgin women. In legends where unicorns were characterized as either fierce and untamable or as incredibly elusive, a virgin maiden was said to be the only one who could tame the beast or draw it out of hiding. In works where unicorns are epitomes of benevolence and purity, virgin maidens are the only ones the creatures allow close to them — or, in certain cases, to ride them.

So you just need to find a virgin.
But.
Your looking for a tech-unicorn...
A Tech virgin?

That is going to be hard to find these days.
I once heard someone describing the fact that once upon a time the chair was a new technology.
So this opens a whole discussion about how virginal you need to be to attract a unicorn.
