I don’t disagree, but at the same time, circle back to my original statement. Even if every single *nix user were to only use open source drivers, that’s still not enough. 4% of the market share isn’t going to change anyone’s mind about *nix support.
Nobody said they’re not. Jesus. You get really upset when someone points out that you’re wrong, don’t you?
Fact of the matter is, is that *nix is less than 4% of the market, and they’re not going to upset the market for that 4%. It will eventually get bigger, but until it does, there’s not a lot of hope.
Some do it’s up to you to pick the ones that have open drivers.

4% of US alone is 12 million people.
If even 25% of them decide hardware purchases based on driver support, 3 million sales isn’t ignorable.
(The number of PCs sold globally per year is similarly 300,000,000, so even then theyd lose out on 12 million potential sales YEARLY)
The market is also pretty shit post-covid, so I’m sure every hardware company is dying for a way to boost sales metrics.
The market share is already there and there not doing open source drivers, so I guess you’re empirically wrong. I dunno what else to tell ya.
Dunno what else to tell ya cause they are moving to open source, but hey googles free if you want to find out for yourself
