        That's how "takeovers" happen. No one is willing to fight at the first sign of change so they just let the money be dominated by woke interests.

      A little under 60% goes to non-Linux project funding and an increasing number of FOSS projects that are operated under the Linux Foundation's umbrella. The Hyperledger Foundation, the Linux Foundation's block chain arm, receives 3.7% of funding.

      Like with any non-profit there's a ton of money spent on other things, but the big part of it is still spent on FOSS, just not specifically kernel development, which Lunduke concedes in the article but still points out reduces kernel dev resources. The motivation is still likely self interested, sure; additional resources for projects like the Hyperledger suite, the Xen Project, and Keycloak all benefit the donors more directly the Linux kernel support; the effects of improvements there are going to be felt by the people consuming that software, while you don't really "see" the Linux kernel until something breaks.

      The real question is whether more money would actually improve the Linux kernel at this stage; is there any part of kernel dev that requires additional capital so immediately? And what's to say the allocations wouldn't increase to kernel dev if they needed it?

      All in all, it's a better article from Lunduke than I've come to expect, but still alarmist in character. I would respect him more if he went to the kernel devs and figured out if they had a genuine need for more money and could comment on project funding anonymously.

      No, if you actually read the article the first comment was right, they literally spend most of it on "diversity and inclusion"

        This is the only worthwhile question itt. Would throwing more money at the kernel actually help development? Are there on going projects that would benefit from having a contractor work on it full time?

      Ive personally only done two but both around a specific technology, beware of anything that sounds general, theyre probably for people who sit in meetings and draw diagrams
      E.g. for Kubernetes they have https://killer.sh/, which is a series of VMs with actual problem scenarios to resolve, a far cry from the usual vendors' unproctored multiple choice spam

    Aren't all non-profit organizations a scam? You have the CEO's and executives making millions while you have a bunch of people on the bottom working for free.

    On December 8th, 2022, the Linux Foundation released their annual report for 2022.

    I’m not going to sugar coat this… it is absolutely ridiculous.

    The highlight? Funding for the Linux kernel, in 2022, dropped to a measly 3.2% of the foundation’s total revenue of $243 Million dollars.

    Down from the — already absurdly low — 3.4% from 2021.

    Considering the name of the foundation… that is, needless to say, highly amusing. Or concerning. Possibly infuriating. Likely all three.

    Let’s dive into the details and try to figure out why this is happening.

      >The Linux Foundation invests more money into “Blockchain” than “Linux”. By a lot (3.7% vs 2.3% of total project spending).
      That's funny.

      I think long term success of Linux depends on projects mostly completely outside of Linux, just not the ones they are handing out money too. Throw some money at KDE devs maybe? Then again, volunteer work is as likely destroyed as helped by money.

        56% of money goes to other projects. Of course dumb article writers with their retarded reddit "hot takes" think it's for DEI because (not joking, look it up) Linux foundation has five pages on DEI inside some obscure presentation

          We complain about troons as a public service announcement to make sure you know you will never be a woman, but the article doesn't mention diversity shit at all.

    >Linux foundation spent $255 million in 2023
    >3.2% went to linux kernel support
    >5.4% went to community tooling (improves the kernel)
    >7.3% went to community training (improves changes to the kernel)
    >9.8% went to community infrastructure (helps maintain the kernel)
    >59.2% went to project support (helps the Linux ecosystem)
    >Linus' $10 million salary (4% of their expenditures) isnt counted so it seems to be in corporate operations
    So 89% of spending goes towards the kernel. What's the problem again?

      Source: your ass
      We don't know where vast majority of the money goes, which means they go in places they don't want you to know

        the sources are the article from the author in the OP and the Linux Foundation's annual report, retard

        The author does not understand the communitarian nature of free software. That's why he cannot fathom why other projects would get money from the Linux foundation.
        But in reality it makes perfect sense. We are all a big family after all

        yeah, it seems the author is unfortunately retarded

      This, however IS something to seethe about. The Linux foundation needs to quickly realize that it is China, not India that will take on the world and become the sole hegemony and superpower. They need to do everything in their power to obtain more Chinese and approval from the CPC.
