In what could well take the award for the most hypocritical tech statement of the year, Linux Foundation president Jim Zemlin last week announced that 2017 was the year of the Linux desktop – while using a macOS machine for his presentation. Zemlin’s statement was made during his keynote at the Open Source Summit 2017 that took place in Los Angeles from 11 to 14 September.
