I think the closest equivalent is Canonical. Canonical spent a lot of money on Desktop Linux, and to be honest, you can see the impact. Desktop Linux today is far more usable than it ever was, and the millions spent by Canonical are a large part of that. Unfortunately, Canonical appears to have scaled back their desktop spending, so it remains to be seen if someone else will step in. Maybe the System76 or Purism folks, or maybe Canonical will focus on Ubuntu desktop again, especially with Shuttleworth’s recent comments that he has been surprised with the number of large organizations requesrion Linux laptops, esp for their data science teams, etc.
