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.

They really could use some better leadership

People use Firefox because it isn't Chrome. That's the biggest usecase.

What a silly thing to stay.

Crafting a team mission statement was much less of an exercise in wordsmithing than I might have assumed. Instead, it was an exercise in aligning on the bigger questions of why we exist and who benefits from our work. I walked away with a better understanding of the value our team brings to Mozilla, a clearer way to articulate how our work ladders up to the organization’s mission, and a deeper appreciation for the individual perspectives of our team members.

This is exactly what "better leadership" looks like, and it's how Firefox will remain a compelling alternative to Chrome.

What they need is a business plan. Right now they aren't inspiring confidence

Nonsense, they have a business plan, it's just not what you personally would like to see.

It's just plain arrogant to presume you know better than an entire team of people with the tech and business acumen to develop a "business plan".
