Days ago: Linux Foundation Trolls Its Critics by Forging Metadata in Its Annual Report (Updated)

Released a few hours ago:

Linux Foundation rejects Linux
Made using proprietary software on a "Mac" PC again (no surprise; some said the kernel report was also made with Microsoft Office)

Summary: That the Linux Foundation "loves Linux" is rapidly becoming just as laughable as "Microsoft loves Linux". Microsoft says that Microsoft loves Linux, but they hate using Linux and don't use it. Jim Zemlin: me too! It should be noted that it's only getting worse over time and by now, in December 2020 or by this year's end, it's clear that Linux.com is defunct as well as barely active. Killed by the so-called 'Linux' Foundation (they're not interested in such an important domain; they fired all the staff and they're estimated to have an annual revenue of almost $150,000,000, so their priority is paying for press releases and bribing large publishers, not employing actual journalists who understand the covered subject).
