As a Red Hat employee who had his all-around sensible Fedora Change to prevent it from falling too far behind RHEL (!) rejected, I think I can confidently claim that your statements smell of conspiracy theories.
Do Linux-involved companies have resources to develop the projects they like the most? Yes. Do companies dominate userspace development? I don't think so, in fact, they're all seem quite focused in their interests, and their involvement with a median package on your community distro desktop system isn't even minimal, it's none. Do the se companies at least all push for a united agenda? Absolutely not. Can they force a single random community distro like Debian to pick something over something else? No. 99% of the distros? Goes without saying.
Linux community is so inherently meritocratic that one can't meaninfully force anything upon any large group of them.
Thore particular two creations of Lennart took the world by storm precisely because they were so absurdly good that working on other stuff was a dead-end, obvious for all but such tiny fraction of people that even forming vacuous hate bubbles haven't rallied enough effort to foster and maintain alternatives.
It became trendy to hate Pulseaudio and call it bloat years after Nokia shipped a rather anemic phone where it already worked flawlessly. I need no further proof that there's no technical basis beneath the hate.
Shoehorned. I'm sure you have your reasons to hate conservatism, and I have no intention to downplay or dismiss whatever opinion you hold on conservatism, but Russians are fatalistic conformists, not conservatists.
I've heard figures up to $30k, I think, but 1. reports on whether these are or are not paid out reliably don't seem conclusive to me 2. I'd be very surprised if there wasn't a regional coefficient, and these are Moscow numbers 3. wrestling them out of the system must be hard, and now there's also $SUBJ.
That's actually sad. Not just the sports competition between the bad and the worse you call elections, but also the part where you're so invested in team rivalry that you don't see the whole problem.
The correct metaphor would be a one-piece puzzle with one side being a shit emoji, and the other one being a shit emoji, but they're of different size and color.
No, he doesn't. He suggests that there are Linux systems with no GNU code, like one I'm replying from, and whether "no" meant "no SLOC" or "no instructions spent executing" or "no packages" absolutely doesn't matter.

NixOS: from where I am, you're indistinguishable
