Man that has poured shitloads of money into turning linux into a more mainstream desktop platform is rich

Wow.

Not sure exactly what you're trying to say here but I guarantee 0% of that wealth came from his investments in Linux support. Their investment in Linux is mostly a way of keeping MS in check, as in "if you try to fuck us the way Apple does with iOS, your customers will leave Windows because they'd rather have something where they can play their giant library of existing games".

Hey if Gabe wants to make Linux phones something to be taken seriously I’m all for that. Until then, Gemini creeps me the fuck out so no android. I can tolerate Siri being fucking dumb.

A huge chunk of that Linux development was paid for by exploiting child gambling.

Just because one does a few good things with their money, doesn't justify how they got it.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

We can nitpick specific examples for everything you want, and we will be correct, but that detracts from the point that Gabe has helped to build things that took decades of slowly getting anywhere.

I wish we didn't need it, but we do.

They hated him because he spoke the truth.

Man who didn't want his business to be completely reliant on Microsoft, made a decision to ensure his money in the future

I don't take issue with rich people. Owning boats worth US$1 billion is past the point of rich.

Why are you taking the worth for granted though?
