Wtf? So Google has basically “bought” the only competitor that isn’t big tech

    The Linux foundation isn't a competitor at all. It gets all of its funding from big tech

    They don't develop something unless it is useful to these companies.

    I don't think the Linux foundation is doing any development themselves. Linux is open source, so anyone can contribute. I think the Linux foundation is like a legal entity and marketing kinda thing. I could be wrong about this though.

    The individual members of the foundation most certainly do linux dev, which benefits their specific company. Think kernel or driver adjustments or supporting newer hardware for servers/datacenters.

    However, that doesnt mean its only the foundation doing the work, thats just the paid work being done. The rest is all passion projects of people
