Summary: The tax-exempt foundation called after “Linux” barely cares about Linux, nor does it invest much in Linux; it’s just a money-grabbing outfit run by people who never used GNU/Linux, led by a charlatan married to a fraud [1, 2, 3]

THE Linux Foundation series focuses on information provided by the Foundation itself. In Part 3, which the video above discusses, we talked about the “LINUX KERNEL ORGANIZATION”. It may not be big and isn’t profitable, but the Foundation calls itself after the kernel, even in 2023. Only a minuscule amount of money — in relative terms — is designated/allocated to help and/or promote this kernel.

We’ll cover this more properly in future parts. The Foundation isn’t a technical powerhouse but an event organiser with a few geeks thrown in for “good measure”. It monopolises the debates and polices/sells keynotes on behalf of large corporations such as Microsoft. Is that what we want? Is this what we need? █
