Most of the meaninful development in the Linux sphere was and is done by corporations like Red Hat, or sponsored by corporations like Google. Google also contributes to Debian and whatever, Intel makes sure their drivers are quickly added to the kernel, etc. Even the major strides Linux is taking into the gaming world are the result of Valve swinging their dick.

If there was no corporate presence in Linux, it would be an absurd joke. Take it for granted that you can use this shit for free. Linux is fucking incredible for something that is fully free.

The best era. Every new release was a huge leap forward. Apple especially was miles ahead of everyone else at the time.

Its clear now though that the iPhone is all Apple really has going for them at the moment. They went and made a fucking movie now? macOS is left for dead while Apple attempts to cannibalize sales witih the iPad Pro. A workout program that watches you through the camera?

I sunk €3000 into a MBP back in early 2017, the works, went all in on the Apple ecosystem and they dropped support for it just a few years later.

I am so burned out on this shit /g/. So tired of being some paypig to shovel ads to and extract money and data from. I am moving on to self hosting and just running Linux on a shitty old ex enterprise laptop. I might be back again in the future, but leveling down and breaking my reliance on tech megacorps has been soothing.
