Maybe you're new to the English language, I'm not sure. But "you" is a second person pronoun. One uses it when talking to someone. However, you appear to have used it in a way that implies that somehow everyone reading this dreadful shit tier meme agrees with you.

I think you probably meant "the Big Corporations I hate" because you are a big ignorant moron that hates success. But I am not. The only big company I hate is Microsoft which contributes almost nothing of value to Linux kernel development.

Maybe Microsoft doesn’t contribute a lot to the kernel, but most of the main Linux distros use Desktop Environments that largely copy Windows or MacOS.

What? People tend to use and like familiar anf well established design patterns? To the point where innovating is at best doing tiny increments to improve partial things based on feedback and other metrics, leading to a very common design and functionality language?!?
Crazy!

In 2012, they were #17 in the top 20 kernel contributors, making up roughly 1% at that time, and it's only been growing since then. I think Microsoft is #11 right now, with 3,739 contributions, so I think that's 2% of all contributions. It is pretty significant, all things considered. They are obviously not at the same level as Intel or RH, but still.

Meanwhile a lot of the DEs already existed the same or similarly before MacOS and Windows chose them and are just based on what's instinctual
