And I don’t disagree with you in any way. But for me, a merely mortal the answer for your first question still is simple, the only thing we can do is stay away from company distros is if we can as I personally always have been, but if you can’t, probably everything will be fine too cause as you already said, these companies already did shady things but we are still here. The Linux kernel is too big to be completely destroyed by just one company, And as you can see, if one try, another will take their place.
