Please explain to me. I moved away from Big Tech and installed - even on my old MacBook Pro 2015 - Linux Mint. I use open source software and my social media is on Fedivers. I tought I was “safe” by using Linux, but the Linux Foundation is sponsord by a lot of money by Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Google, etc… etc… the exact companies I try to take some distance off. Can somebody please explain me if Linux is “sold” to US Big Tech now?
Those big tech companies benefit from Linux just like you do, so they spend money to fund its development. They also have engineers working on it.
So, no, it’s not sold to US big tech. It is, in part, funded by US big tech.
