    Love that she did it, although I’m surprised they didn’t sue her for contempt of business model (i.e. Some copyright BS)

        She was hired as a contractor by Valve to work on Linux graphics driver related stuff. Valve knows who the experts are. And yes her work is amazing.

      If you mean Apple, it wouldn’t really make sense for them to do that. Apple primarily generates income from hardware sales, so they wouldn’t care if people run other software on the hardware they already bought.

      Edited to say: this doesn’t really apply for the iPhone/iPad as the application ecosystem is locked down. macOS isn’t though so users will do whatever they want anyway. There are even tiling window managers for macOS!

        They don’t lock down macOS but it still has an App Store where Apple makes 30% on sales

          Locked down is relative, while I use both I find the OS gets in my way a lot more on macOS than Linux.
