Linux in 2025 isn’t the scrappy underdog we grew up with—it’s being hijacked by corporate overlords shoving GNOME desktop defaults, Wayland nonsense, Red Hat / IBM lock-in, and systemd monoculture down our throats while pretending it’s all “progress.” In this rant, I break down how hostile corporate takeovers and foundation politics are eroding user freedom, gaming performance, X11 compatibility, and the do-one-thing-well philosophy that made UNIX and Linux worth using in the first place. If you’re tired of Red Hat, Canonical, and the GNOME Foundation pushing their agenda, if you still believe in minimalism, choice, tiling window managers, Xorg, and old-school Linux ethos, this one’s for you.
