The oft repeated point about GNU, such as in the video, glosses over the important part that Unix is really about having an accessible and fully fledged computing environment. Most Androids have locked bootloaders (usually because of carrier-bundling restrictions) and thus gimp user-controlled computing, which is at minimum being able to install an adblocking Youtube app without fuss.
Other non-GNU open-source userspaces such as Alpine Linux and the BSDs, or the now niche proprietary Unices like Solaris are more compatible with each other than with Android, but that's a lesser point derived from the important part.
This blogpost I think captures what the top comment alluded to. Comparitively minuscule capital from Linux Foundation, Cannonical (Mark Shuttleworth mismanaging top-tier talent), Red Hat, etc went towards making Desktop Linux competitive and distinguished against Microsoft and Apple for semi-technical users; novice programmers, artists, and scientists/engineers alike.
It's because there's not as much money in the desktop environment. This is why Microsoft has started basically giving out 'free' mainline upgrades to the Windows OS. It's because they make most of their revenue in servicing. In fact, the 300k Windows Partners make up over 90% of their revenue.
Linux has been captured by the woke left at least since they rammed their COC down the kernel developers' throats.
One of the main points of weakness was Linus' daughter, Patricia, who is a rabid feminist and one of the first to endorse the "Post-Meritocracy Manifesto".
Have you seen who donates to the Linux Foundation? You didn't think organization was somehow different from all the other cultural marxism organizations, did you?
I have donated to them in the past. Because I thought it was important that Linus and Greg Kroah-Hartman get paid for working on a project that has enriched my life and career. I imagine there are a lot of boomer and gen X neck beards, who felt similarly and that keeps the donations rolling in.
However, when I saw the Foundation putting Linus in timeout, and getting involved in vaccine passport systems then I was pretty much done with the Foundation.

And doesn’t most of its development in desktop and server applications come from Red Hat, Novell, and Google? It would stand to reason that most of its support would come from for-profit vendors that are obliged to push their enhancements upstream, rather than some non-profit.
Unless Linus went regressive a dissident right government can easily fix this by cutting him a deal where we seize control of the org and transfer it back to him under the condition that he must aggressively cater to us.
Putting your money into foundations is just guaranteeing that communists will subvert them and use your money to fund demographic replacement and child sex change surgeries.
This is disappointing. If they put the majority of money to development they could have broken into the desktop/laptop market years ago
Thing is that Linux already has the server market largely locked down.
Android is based on Linux, so arguably it has the majority of the smartphone market, too.
Claiming "Android is Linux" ignores a lot of what's behind Android. It's like saying "the Playstation OS is FreeBSD".
Same with iOS’ distant relation to BSD, or even to OS X.

So they should expand

This shouldn't come as a surprise at all.

Here's the manifesto/code of conduct's author:

He should have told his extremist whore of a daughter to deradicalize or get disowned.
Reminder that the Linux Foundation has nothing to do with kernel development. It's a bunch of blue haired grifters

That reminds me, Coraline will never be a woman.
No wonder Linux has been a stagnant pool for a decade.
Much of Linux’s progress, at least in gaming, has come from Valve (Steam Deck and Proton).

nah, he's gone since he received pictures off his kids on their way to school.
edit. damn. my bookmarked link about that is gone.
can someone try to find a post about this happening?
