Just to make sure I understood right. I read some translation of your post, and I think translation was not 100% correct, so I wanted to ask you.
In your phrase “So the company began the process of forcefully moving developers who'd worked on Linux for over 15 years to platforms they felt uncomfortable and unproductive working on”, you meant that developers who wrote code for the product for Linux, were forced to start writing code for Mac/Windows?
Not that they were forced to change their actual development environment OS from Linux to Windows or Mac?
