• I'm on board with the AI spent. It will be crucial to have open source AI tools in the future.

• Microsoft and Apple have some people on Linux board of Directors.Someones are getting rich making sure Linux doesn't work.

• All those code merge requests the Linux Foundation gets free of charge. How much of that 2% goes to paying Linux Fellows? The beauty of Open Source Software…software developer work as a donation/charity-gift.

• Linux is just a small part of the Operating System this video is misleading you about.

• "Warez" your dank merch dude?

• I think that you can guess why that the "march of dimes" is called that.

• Microsoft has a position on the Linux Foundation, why is anyone surprised? They're trying to quietly smother Linux!

• I'd be curious how much they spend on outreach to encourage non-enterprise usage. If Linux needs money/effort anywhere it's on the end-user desktop experience, and it needs a hell of a lot more than $400k per year to get it where it needs to be.

• Of they put 100% on Linux, the year of the Linux in desktop would have arrived 25 years ago.

• Oranges aren't the only fruit.

• If they spent maybe 1-2% on addition driver support and some other things to make Linux even more effective, it would be nice.

• Just like our governments piss away our taxes on absolute woke nonsense & their corporate cohorts. No doubt the Linux foundation are also giving money to themselves, to woke ESG social engineering, their corporate friends… & money laundering?…. Every institute is now corrupt.

• Project support 64%
  
  Project infrastructure 9%
  
  Training and Certification 7%
  
  Corporate operations 6%
  
  Event support 6%
  
  Community tooling 5%
  
  Linux kernel support 2%
  
  International operations 1%

• But there is a difference between "Linux as a system" and "Linux the Kernel". So things that works with mostly linux should probably be included in order to give a fair comparison.

• I wish they'd spend some money on preempt-rt

• If we get all the linuxy goodness from merely 2%, imagine what we could have with just 2% more.

• It isn't a joke, but it IS a joke. There is no good reason for this. It's unfortunate that it's probably legal, too.

• Entire thing! What are they doing there?😡
