(I understand that a minute selection of Open Source software is decent, but that software is made by bloodthirsty corporations who are either desperate to stay alive or seeking to benefit from those few programmers that are actually skilled without having to pay them.)

Supporters of Open Source software often claim that Open Source software is better than commercial software because despite its obvious inferiority, it's made by selfless individuals who only want to help the world. Well, it turns out that the claim of Open Source fanatics being altruistic individuals is a complete lie, and it turns out that they simply hide their greed and refusal to pay for anything under that veil. Somebody started a program in which such individuals would track bugs in Linux and receive no compensation other than a good feeling that they're improving Linux so that it may actually have a chance at conquering the desktop and server. Nobody volunteered. They'd rather win prizes for finding an insignificant bug or two than actually add validity to the claim that Open Source is supported by an entire community rather than merely a tiny corporation as commercial software is.
With such revelations about the Open Source community, one must wonder if it'd be more appropriate to label each and every year the year in which Linux dies rather than the year in which Linux dominates the desktop.
