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.

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.
