> Now if we have to think of Apple as a hostile entity that is doing the same shit as microsoft, it makes me very disappointed.

It's sad and disappointing but not surprising in any way. The immutable truth is we simply can't trust these companies. We need to cut them out of our lives as much as humanly possible.

Linux is flawed but it's ours. I hope we continue to have unlocked computers to run it on forever.

Linux belongs to those who maintain it. Become a maintainer. :)

I totally want to become a Linux contributor one day. I made drivers for some USB stuff on my laptop but I got the impression the kernel developers prefer keeping that stuff in user space if at all possible and in my case it was.

That's awesome. Don't discount your contribution just because it didn't make its way into the kernel. Published FOSS is great too. If you want to reach more users by default, you could ask Ubuntu or Red Hat to include it in their distros. Thanks for the work!
