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.

Anything that supports Flatpaks is good in my book. The more things that use Flatpaks, the more companies see them as worth supporting for their products. Improved Flatpak support and adoption really helps "traditional" distros like Mint, which can use the same software without modification.
I wouldn't say they "love" open source though. IMO it's like Microsoft where it's more of a political move to make themselves seem better. Recently, in some areas, Google has been trying to clamp down on people daring to run software they don't approve on their devices.
"Google" isn't. ChromeOS is actually providing more and more flexibility then ever. Android however is the exact opposite. One must keep in mind that google isn't some monolithic company, it's very fractured and has many independent teams, the best showcase of this is JXL. 3/4 top contributors to libjxl are google employees, and yet chromium decided to remove JXL support citing bogus reasons generated by obviously flawed testing and analysis.
Nobody is hosting JXL images because we don’t support JXL so we removed JXL before we launched it since no one was using it. #chromelogic
not to mention the totally bogus comparison they preformed which is an insult to anyone who has a even an inkling into how image metrics and comparisons work and more then 30sec to compare
