    You literally mentioned iOS above. And my point stands. If Gabe were to start porting those games to a Linux phone of some sort, it would really help that platform, much like he’s helped the Linux community and his own business interests.

    Him going after Microsoft benefits everybody. Him going after Apple could do the same.

      It’s literally called an analogy. It was not literally the subject of the conversation.

      You’re still literally demonstrating that you don’t understand the motive of supporting Linux, despite me literally just explaining it.

      Gabe literally does not care about the platform, he cares about protecting his revenue stream. Making Linux phones would literally not do that.

        I understand this was motivated by his businesses interests. But it’s happens to benefit others as well. Value working to make Linux phones more viable is a bit of a pipe dream but it would certainly whip Google and Apple into shape. And that was my point.

          Probably not anymore than it already does Apple and MS.
