Practically all software that matters is already Linux only. That happened 15-20 years ago as a combination of “cloud” and “SaaS”. Android and iOS apps, with the exception of games, are usually just thin presentation layers around cloud apps. Hint: if you have to log in, the real app a cloud app running on a Linux server. But I don’t see what that has to do with executive compensation.

Exorbitant executive compensation coming from the same companies that are aggressively infringing upon the rights of their end users are two expressions of the same tyrannical desires of these big tech companies. They're trying to bring about neofeudalism where we're all peasants serving our big tech lords. Also, it's not about supporting Linux, it's about not supporting tyrants (Microsoft, Apple, Alphabet, Meta, et. al.). Whenever you offer compatibility for Windows, Mac OS, iOS, or Android, you are excusing, encouraging, and supporting tyranny and neofeudalism.

    Thanks for your support. However, your upvote didn't register (I still have 1 point on the comment). I noticed this sometimes happening with me recently, too. You can verify this by unvoting and looking at my karma in the profile not changing.

      I think an equal number of upvotes and a downvotes/flags does this, too.

        The test I suggested would reveal that, too.

        Oooh, just tried upvoting this one and it looks like your karma stayed constant at 8301. Strange. I wonder if there's a limit to how much karma one account can give another through upvotes within a certain time period.
