From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Taking funding from your biggest competitor is a weird business choice.
Where should they be "taking" funding instead?
That's the Mozilla paradox right there. A company like theirs cannot survive on the market without breaking their own ideals.
Mozilla should approach proton to try and get accuired. I would love to see Firefox and Thunderbird become part of the proton landscape.
Well all it'll do is make Proton lose more money.
They are not positive ?
I think they are but Mozilla is not profitable and will be an expense source. Idk if it'll make Proton negative but it definitely won't improve their business.
mozilla is not profitable because of how much they pay their CEO.
its the same situation as reddit.
The CEO is like slightly more than 1% of their annual revenue.
Everyone seems to have missed or ignored the pun. 😄 I liked it.
Thanks for pointing it out 😂
