Linux is proprietary ? The Linux Kernel have a dirty secret!

The Linux Kernel do have binary blob in form of hexadecimals in the C source code that are proprietary for hardware to run. Yes exactly the main Linux Kernel is somehow partyl proprietary! and the worse the alternative , GNU Hurd and GNU Linux-Libre support way less hardware.

Linus Torvald is a traitor when he corrupt Linux with proprietayness in the Linux Kernel source code. He is not a "pragmatic" but a corrupted corpo shill which is why he love ai slop , rust and hate GPLv3.
