I think that conclusion is up for interpretation though. I mean, you could be right, but I wouldn’t call anything proof.
They have not said, we don’t want to support Linux. Or we never intend to support Linux. What they have said is that they lack Linux developers to flesh out their products on that platform.
They need more Linux devs, plain and simple. They don’t have them and I will admit that is clearly not their priority.
The crux of the matter is their focus isn’t on Linux. But not focusing on Linux is not the same as not supporting it.
Their clear focus is on Enterprise Business, quality privacy access for those that need it (be it journalists or oppressed countries), and general user privacy last.
While Linux users tend to be more private in nature, 100% of us are still smaller than a fraction of their focus. It may seem counter intuitive for them being a privacy company to lack support in the most private platform, but it would also seem counter intuitive that using them to get away from Google products still requires the Play store and Gapps for notifications.
So I take it all with a grain of salt.
Again, you might be right. They might not have any interest in Linux in the long term. But I don’t see the evidence that proves that without a doubt. Them not lining up with my opinion of how they should do things isn’t proof of anything.
