> $12.6 millions for a Linux distro (more like collection of dot files and few AI written scripts)?
You know, many open source projects and devs are struggling, yet still giving out code and support free of cost. Nobody gives them that kind of money. Imagine FreeBSD, LibreOffice, or Debian (just to name a few good FLOSS projects) getting that kind of money and what they could do for humanity. How much is going to real devs and upstream projects?
