I agree with the rant and think that Linux today is overall doing a net negative effect to computing. The absolutely lack of stable API/ABI efforts and the "cavalier" attitude regarding free software are creating terrible precedents over the industry. Linux is today the kernel/operating system with the largest hardware support, but my ability to actually use the operating system I want with the hardware I want has moved nilch. The next free operating system which even supports my AMD GPU? It's FreeBSD, and they do that by linking in the code from Linux (not even forking: forking would be way too much effort). There is _no_ other OS which supports it. Also, you can forget about DRM support anywhere other than Linux. Netflix? Linux-only. It's a very sad picture and much definitely worse than 10-20 years ago.
