Yipeeee :3 Any win for the Internet Archive is a win for humanity.

I meant Microsoft’s Xbox input method, absolutely nothing against x.org

Having developers pay a one time fee for dedicated servers that the players don’t need to pay for is amazing.

I wish, the first one still stands as the best controller imo but it still has so much that can be improved (USB C, dual thumbsticks and trackpads, two back paddles, improved haptics, better gyro, better ergonomics, etc).

I just hate the very concept of Linux being monetized. I don’t think it’ll happen and I don’t want it to happen.

Steaminput is a massive deal, it supports gyro, remapping, profiles, and extensive customization. XInput can’t compare and the epic games store relies on developers for everything. That’s the reason why I will always pick a Steam Controller over an Xbox controller.

This is why Steam is as popular as it is, they just release features that people like. Sure GOG doesn’t have DRM and Epic Games gives a bigger share to developers but Steam gives players what they actually want.

I’m sure they taste like extra fatty pork

Fundamentally that doesn’t make any sense, unlike Apple or Google Linux can’t charge a percentage for subscriptions. Right now companies are getting away with not contributing any money to Linux, why would they magically start? Furthermore who would they pay? Not everyone uses flatpaks and adding paid apps/subscriptions would be highly controversial. Even if it did work the money made would be a tiny fraction of what android makes.

I am talking about businesses supporting the Linux desktop with software, not about the OS devs themselves.

What money is there in desktop Linux? Companies don’t support things without expecting something in return.

Certified Capitalism moment™

Finally, someone gets my point. Capitalism inherently makes products worse and more expensive, the flaw in your argument is you think it can ever be contained.

I acknowledge that, the rise has been absolutely incredible. However, I doubt it’ll reach above 10% (on the desktop globally).

Well that’s a lie. Lots of companies use Linux servers, Linux embedded devices

I mentioned that

even Linux desktops for programmers or engineers. Android devices are everywhere too. One of the most common uses of Linux is smartphones.

They make money because they’re proprietary, sell peoples info, and because of that they represent everything the free software movement fights against. I use Linux because it supports the free software movement, not the other way around.

The better question is why aren’t people supporting desktop Linux?

It’s a combination of a few factors, developers are pressured into not asking for donations (users need to actively find their website to donate), the vast majority of Linux software is free of price, and people don’t want to pay money for their operating system.
