Not sure exactly what you’re trying to say here but I guarantee 0% of that wealth came from his investments in Linux support. Their investment in Linux is mostly a way of keeping MS in check, as in “if you try to fuck us the way Apple does with iOS, your customers will leave Windows because they’d rather have something where they can play their giant library of existing games”.
Hey if Gabe wants to make Linux phones something to be taken seriously I’m all for that. Until then, Gemini creeps me the fuck out so no android. I can tolerate Siri being fucking dumb.
You literally mentioned iOS above. And my point stands. If Gabe were to start porting those games to a Linux phone of some sort, it would really help that platform, much like he’s helped the Linux community and his own business interests.
Him going after Microsoft benefits everybody. Him going after Apple could do the same.

I think you missed the point. No one was talking about Android or iOS. We were talking about Windows and Linux.
Valve’s investment in Linux began back in the Windows Vista days when MS tried to control Windows the same way that Apple does with iOS.

It’s literally called an analogy. It was not literally the subject of the conversation.
You’re still literally demonstrating that you don’t understand the motive of supporting Linux, despite me literally just explaining it.
Gabe literally does not care about the platform, he cares about protecting his revenue stream. Making Linux phones would literally not do that.
