@linuxisevil @madthumbs Sorry but Dave Plumber isn’t at the top of my list of trusted sources. I don’t expect someone whose got a vested interest to be neutral.

You haven’t given any evidence to support your claim. All you did was link to some Youtuber who repeats Microsoft propaganda. (Old propaganda at that)

@linuxisevil Microsoft tends to provide stock options to their employees, this gives them more incentive to work 80 hours / week and contribute to the companies financial growth, and if they’ve retained those stocks, then they retain an interest.

That doesn’t even matter. If he worked at Microsoft he probably has a Microsoft attitude. Also I’ve noticed that the older programmers share his sentiment.

Vested interest? Literally vested stock options. Well, by now they’ve already been used to purchase stock.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
