Summary: The Linux Foundation is gradually becoming a shadow of Microsoft, just like the Open Source Initiative, where most of the money comes from Microsoft and the official blog promotes Microsoft, its proprietary software, and Microsoft’s side in a class action lawsuit over GPL violations (with 9 billion dollars in damages at stake).

      GNU’s Hurd was supposed to be this iirc. That clearly hasn’t gotten far and hasn’t been progressing quickly.

        GNU Hurd development was started in 1990 as a follow-up project of another, failed GNU kernel from years before. Linus Torvalds didn’t start Linux development before April 1991.

      OpenBSD, and FreeBSD are 2 excellent operating systems. Zero closed source bits in the kernel or system files.

      BSD does not do distributions, each one is their own operating sysyem with their own developers, different source code for each.
