      Conflating 1% of Linux users also being 1% of revenue is pretty asinine lol

        Yeah because I’m sure windows users pay way less than macOS users.

        I wonder what the techies pay like me who are using Linux. I think I’m up to about $2000 this year on software alone.

          I remember humble bundle stated once that Linux users paid much more than windows and iOS per user. It was a number of years ago. There is something to say about per user $$.
