about 80% of kernel devs are corporate employees that're getting paid to do what they do.

Yeah but a huge amount of the development gets done by weebs

It's the 20% that made it viable for the 80% to use linux to get back at each other (see oracle vs Microsoft).

Either way, users get an option to use an operating system that doesn't require you to have a dick up your ass.

DRM, telemetry, no control, and now windows s. how's that dick windows users?

I'd have jumped ship long ago if only Linux had the Adobe Suite and Sony Vegas.
Also video games.

I got debian on dualboot, but since 80% of my time on a PC is spent on said suite and video games, it makes little sense to actually boot into it.
