From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Wait, so what is this supposed situation we're currently in?
I'm struggling to understand your version of reality.
I can't for the life of me understand how you're having a difficulty understanding this to begin with....
You said that at 4% market share they would be idiots to not break their backs chasing that 4% in revenue but were there right now and they're not breaking their back at all they're hardly doing anything...
The entirety of your statements that you've said so far are verifiably incorrect because they are the reality that we're living right now. I'm not the one that struggling with reality buddy, that's you.
I'm a different person from who you were talking to before. I'm just trying to understand why you feel they aren't supporting Linux.
