You have a point, and I agree that these days, for most people, Linux is where the action is. But it might not be desirable to end up in a future where Linux is

You have a point, and I agree that these days, for most people, Linux is where the action is. But it might not be desirable to end up in a future where Linux is the only game in town. Therefore it could be wise to support other FOSS operating systems, to keep some kind of competition.
- ruthmarx 2y agoIs this not an argument against vendor lock in? I'd argue that doesn't really apply to a FOSS project like Linux, and that BSD isn't sufficiently different to help diversity. If that was the goal, there are a ton of smaller OS projects that I think would make sense to fund. Like ReactOS.
