That's bad. Very bad.

Have you ever looked at the list of kernel maintainers? I remember seeing a couple of years ago that something like 3/4 of the kernel development comes from commercial realm, the most work being contributed by Red Hat.

Xfce…., etc = Gnome, now with the appearance of Librem 5, all the Unix derivatives which are based on C language will be finally unified.
