From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

See the above. Stop being entitled. It's their project and most of the work is done by volunteers, for free.
If you find their product so detestable, don't use it.
You don't have a god-given right to have free volunteers make software in the exact way you want them to.
They are volunteers working on their own project, not slaves working on yours.
Honestly nowhere outside of Linux do I see so many people get so much for free and yet be so spiteful and entitled in return.
Apple, Microsoft and Google, on the other hand, decides what is best for them, shove it down the users' throats and get users' money (and personal data) in return...
I think some criticism still valid though (but not the entitlement).
