What about almost every other distro being run by volunteeers?
You misunderstood: Red Hat The Linux Distribution (not quite relevant for Linux development) is not Red Hat The Commercial Entity (quite relevant for Linux development). However, volunteers repackaging (“distributing”) Red Hat software still don’t change the nature of the software, but that’s a different discussion.
It’s honestly insane that you can sit there and shill for Microsoft these days.
I do not do that. What I actually wrote is: By moving from Windows to Linux (assuming you use Linux-libre), you gain a certain level of freedom, but that freedom still relies on commercial entities and their own ideas that are contributed to the kernel. Just because you can see the code, you still can’t decide about the code.
Note that I do not use Windows. You make it sound like I would.
Let’s leave it at that. We probably won’t solve this debate over Christmas, and life is too short to argue about software. :-)
Have a good one.
