> the company's worth seems somehow very small with the talent they got They started a project on the basis of refusing to compromise (on aesthethic-usability choices), in a niche (desktop Linux) that most users choose trying to escape such refusals by mainstream desktop platforms. They are trying to monetize on a platform (again, Linux) where most people are ideologically bent on producing and consuming software for free. It's like they are actively fighting the platform and the ecosystem at every turn. The surprise is not how small they are, but how long they've managed to survive on donations.
