I kinda agree, especially in terms of commercial involvement. There's just too much steering done in Linux by big companies. I think it's lost the grassroots aspect. It's all big business now. And general opinion seems to side with it, I've read a lot of comments siding with RedHat's narrative of CentOS (and recent spinoffs) users as 'freeloaders'. Protecting someone's revenue stream was never the idea behind Linux. Some people might say Linux has grown up but for me it's off-putting. I don't want my OS to be for everyone because my wishes are pretty different than most people's. I moved to FreeBSD for my desktop and I'm really happy for it. It's simple and has some unique insights like the ports collection, jails and ZFS as a true first class citizen. Of course to each their own and I'm glad for some Linux-driven initiatives like KDE. I'm happy some people like Linux and I still use it here and there too, like for premade docker containers. |

Linux CAN be for everyone; that's precisely why so many different distros exist, to focus on different groups of users who have different needs and preferences.
It would be nice if ZFS was a true first-class citizen in Linux-land though.
