    Because not selling your product to the 5th largest economy in the world is a dumb idea.

      Except the whole point is that it’s free and you’re not selling anything anyways.

        Ubuntu is in fact sold and supported and that generates most of the money to fund it’s development.

        California on its own is the 5th largest economy in the world.

          And the rest of the US is unimportant?

            Not unimportant, just irrelevant to this conversation, this is about California.

              It is not. Leave California and serve the rest of the country.

                What do you suppose is the US ranking among all other economies, without California? I don’t know any better, but something tells me California might be a pretty big loss. You can cut your leg off if you get an infection… but, you’ve still got to cut your leg off. That’s enough to make some antiscience people consider meds.

                  30-4 = 26

                  https://www.visualcapitalist.com/mapped-every-states-share-of-u-s-gdp/

                  Still largest economy by GDP. Next is China at 20 or the EU at 22.

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.
