Quora sent me an "interesting question."

"Is Linux dead? Why?"

I'm not even bothering to read that clickbait. Are some questions stupid? Actually, yes. Clickbait questions are stupid.

@icedquinn >linux foundation consists primarily of big tech vultures
Yes, the "Linux foundation" is a bunch of proprietary software companies working together on their proprietary malware.
>maybe valve who is pushing some stuff for the desktop
valve is pushing nothing for the GNU/Linux desktop - rather corrupting it with their proprietary filth.
Their steam client still uses 32bit libraries(!) on a 64bit processor in 2022 and the only contribution I'm aware of from valve is to; WINE+DVXK+esync (Proton).
So many people seem to love claiming that valve is doing "so much for Linux", but as far as I am aware, valve hasn't made a single commit to Linux.

Yes, Linux is dead - as it contains proprietary malware, but GNU Linux-libre is a revival of it: https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/
