Linux kernel is like 28mil lines of mostly driver and arch code. It’s open enough that you can basically use the code as it is to do what you please… There are limitations of course but the code is out there.
As it is the foundation and kernel ecosystem is seemingly pretty corporate friendly as it prob needs to be.
Are you worried that Linux might be attempted to be recooperated by capitalists somehow? It is a very valuable asset. I’m not sure how they could do it. Maybe they will try and make it more like corporate OSs… Or they will use their legal and sanctioning powers to prevent some people from using it how they would like.

Hmmmm… this seems awfully familiar.
“Hey google, have you heard of any attempt made by a capitalist company that tried to recorperate Linux into something of their own and then use legal and sanctioning powers to prevent people from using it however they like?”
…
Google assistent says that she doesn’t know of any company like that,
but she does want to let you know that there’s a new version of Android OS and Chrome OS on the market.
You’re going to have to buy a phone/tablet for that though.
A new laptop/desktop is not required (yet), she says, but it is recommended.
The mobile ecosystem is just absolutely terrible. At least with other consumer and semi-consumer devices like x86 and SBCs you are free to put whatever OS you want and not stick with the dystopian sh*t the corps are pushing on us.
But things can get worse so maybe wait for a divestment…
