Why would Apple have developers working on their hardware running Linux? Apple doesn’t use Linux.

They aren’t the biggest oss dev, but they have a decent amount of contributions. [0][1]

It’s hard to compare how much Google vs Apple contributes to open source, but not sure why anyone would think Apple “contributes back almost nothing.”

Please stare at your own links for a second.

Let me help you:

https://github.com/orgs/appleopen/repositories?q=sort%3Astar...

Their most popular repo in that entire account has 8 stars.

I have multiple personal repos with more usage than that.

As for the other link. More than half of those projects are Apple specific.

Those aren't official repositories; they're just someone's mirror.

Look at the second link. Many of their projects aren’t in appleopen.

That’s great you have personal repos with more than 8 stars!
