I'm not commenting on the Linux stuff itself. But the idea that Epic sued Google because they "dislike Linux" doesn't make sense on two levels:
Ftfy
Anything but money, you mean.
And the shareholders...don't forget about the shareholders...cuz they definitely haven't.
They rode the good guys image for quite a bit.
Rofl. Are you trolling? I can't tell.
Google loves money. They contribute to open source sometimes, because it will financially benefit them in some fashion.
They don't "love" or "care" about programmers, Linux or anything like that. If tomorrow it was more profitable for them to axe all their open source contributions, they would.
They only exist to exploit volunteers to reduce development costs
Pretty ironic considering unreal engine 5 has excellent Linux support. Epic itself was one of the few pioneering companies that actually released Linux version of their games. So why backtrack now?
