No, but we haven’t yet seen the influx of proprietary software on Linux.
Say that Adobe, MS and Autodesk enters this space. You think that gnu/Linux will stay on the path of being Foss or will it become more proprietary and closed? Or will these companies fight and use their influence and money to e.g. push for permanent proprietary code in the kernel?
All speculations of course.
- Comment on Even PewDiePie thinks you should install Linux on your computer after saying he was "tortured by Windows" 1 week ago:
No, that’s not what I wrote. But I fear what will happen to the gnu/Linux/Foss community if Linux becomes a land for non-foss. My premise for my concern is that we should fight against non-foss in this space. This is a ideological stands which you may or may not agree with.

It wouldn’t but since these software companies (Autodesk as another example) have a monopoly, I doubt that most windows users for some reason would switch to Foss alternatives - thet already have that ability with windows. I fear that Linux basically becomes windows in terms of what software is primarily used, i.e protritary software.
My premise is that Linux and its user space applications should be free software and that the community should fight back against non-foss in this space.

Rather that noobs stay on win tbh. If gnu/Linux become mainstream, the Adobe, MS etc etc will just move onto Linux. Just look at flathub - how many of the top downloaded programs are proprietary? A lot, e.g. Discord and Steam.
This is a genuine concern that I have.

But not many and nor are they able to provide the required quantity, as described in the article.
- Comment on Bluesky now has 30 million users. 3 months ago:
Decentralized FOSS socials are great technical achievements but I feel like the actual product that users will interact with are worse copy cats of already established social platforms. Mastodon is a Twitter clone, Lemmy is a reddit clone, peertube is a youtube clone. I love these FOSS/decen. platforms but the frontend that users actually interact with are just copies of already popular platforms, just with another backend. What innovative FOSS/decen. social platforms exist? Not talking about the backend but the user experience.
