Calling Out the Threat

Michael Larabel is a good person, but no person is perfect and over the years we've written about the twists and turns of his first baby, Phoronix [1, 2, 3], which is the means by which he makes a living for his wife and toddler. I don't mean to sound too critical of Larabel, but it remains to be seen whether he can accept that Microsoft is definitely not a friend of Linux (not the same as the Linux Foundation) and should be treated accordingly. As someone put it hours ago in the comments: "Linux will benefit? If not, their patches shouldn't be included in mesa [...] It's mainly for Linux to begin with and most of the mesa code serves Linux. Their intentions are clearly bad, so mesa is becoming Microsoft sink." (Slightly edited)
"As noted in the video above, some graphics (drivers) coders in the Linux world have openly complained about this WSL agenda, which not only messes with Mesa but also works against Linux's interest."It's about Microsoft "Embracing and Extending" Mesa to promote Windows and DirectX. As noted in the video above, some graphics (drivers) coders in the Linux world have openly complained about this WSL agenda, which not only messes with Mesa but also works against Linux's interest.
Microsoft loves Windows, not Linux. If Phoronix loves Linux, then it should adapt to the threat, which is now an inside threat. ⬆
