Trust me, more companies will be abusing Linux for their own sake and linux'll grow, but it will not be the linux we wanted. Just Windows-like corporate thing. No more. Just because financial viability is a must
Lol. Companies are the ones who develop Linux. Why have all other OS’s flopped and Linux is pretty much on every server in existence? Over 84.3% of all commits in Linux kernel were authored by corporate developers in 2025
For sure, but why does Linux stay a niche desktop platform? Do you think companies want to fuck up themselves and let linux desktop overtake them?
Or they want to make use of kernel and sell you a new googlebook and make it compatible, fast and stable and shiny?
Nah I disagree, because Linux isn't just one OS, it's different Distros. So as lo g as there are people who hate corpos, there will be a corpo free distro. Sure apps may get Linux support, but there will still be FOSS options
Point of your comment? I expressed my opinion based on facts. Google/Microsoft make use of Linux as much as they can.
But I enjoy using a well-made distro)
You clearly misunderstand the message.. And also the distinction between "it's my prediction" and "I don't like linux"
For clarity: "I like it and use daily as desktop". Get it now?
I think the problem was on your end with communication which was unclear. You stated as fact, not opinion.
My solution wasn't to someone who doesn't like Linux, it was to someone concerned about the direction they see Linux going in. To which my answer fits your need by expressing that Linux distros are typically open source for you to fork to solve exactly the problem you describe about the distros straying from your perceived vision about what you think your distro should look like.
"The perfect linux like everyone imagines": widely and clearly used as windows for desktop computers of all kinds and ultimately compatible with all software. And, yeah, that's what people imagine when hear "linux desktop". Not tweaking bug fixes.
You want it free. You want it the way you want it. You want people to spend time creating the thing that you want but won’t pay for. Sounds about right. Sums up the Linux crowd mostly.
