lol, $100k+… HP revenue in 2024 was $53,559,000k.
Dell same year $88,000,000k and Lenovo $69,000,000k, so ~$50B to $90B
I let you calculate the percentage but… I’d guesstimate it’s approximately nothing.
Revenue is not operational profit
Right… which… is why I wrote revenue and not operational profit? Was I unclear? What should I have shared instead? Please feel free to clarify directly with whatever you believe would be better and why, we can all learn.
What is this condescending tone, is this what they call redditor energy
Were you not condescending? Don’t you believe you started this?
You could have said :
- Revenue is not precise enough, operational profit would be a better metric
- Operational profit is more representative of the situation and for HP it’s [insert value]
or basically anything that prompts a discussion by kindly clarifying.
Instead you basically said “Apples are not oranges” and now you are saying replies are toxic.

I’m not sure you’re understanding my perspective so I can make it explicit : I took their comment as snarky, not helpful, trying to make their view as objective without helping me and others understanding why their position was better.
They aren’t doing this out of Altruism, mind you. They know damn well that the world runs on Linux admins, and they want the ecosystem to survive so they can use it as a customer base later.
And Linux should not survive by altruism, but by actual dependency.
Soon subscription is coming up for fwupd

Let’s go! I want more of this! Better hardware/firmware support is always appreciated.
FYI HP (and Dell, but not Lenovo) are priority targets on the BDS list. Please do not support them even if they support Linux.
What’s the “BDS” list? Never heard of it.
Siemens is on there?
As an electrical engineer, I guess I know which company is NOT selling my circuit breakers now.
… Why… or how, would McDonald’s support Israel and the IDF?
I mean, that seems such an easy target to avoid and just go “I’m staying out of this one” for any company, but McDonald’s? That just has to be for the sport
they give away free food to the idf.
Cruelly ironic, considering the IDF used starvation as a weapon.
even more so when you consider that they’re using healthier ingredients for the idf instead of the toxic sludge that they serve to americans.
I read it as “BDSM Movement”…
Boycott divest and sanction israel
Damn I just looked that up and WIX is on the list. WTF, WIX? Damnit
Meh, they’re shit anyways.
Still, fuck HP.
ik HP has a Linux laptop and all but this company is definitely the last company I thought would do smt like this
me too but i don’t think its a good idea to to trust their good gesture yet; their product lines are still hella closed and not allow for much customization. even in the rare instances they allow to they impose arbitrary limitation and/or require their software
high-usage vendors like hp (and dell, lenovo previously reported on) have to start paying-in to support the operating costs of the service.
they certainly aren’t doing it because they want to.
Think about it. Right now, windows is a fucking hog of an OS. It takes up huge space, gas huge overhead, and needs huge amounts of ram. Ram and storage are expensive as hell right now.
Linux can run well on a laptop on decade old tech (One of my old laptops is literally from 2016 and runs Linux mint butter smooth).
So by promoting Linux, HP can sell a laptop with less ram and less storage, that doesn’t run like shit. Saves them loads of money. They may not give a flying fuck about Linux. This still helps their bottom line.
hmm true that’d make sense
Great news for the foundation, still sorry HP but you have burned me regarding your printers
Thats pretty great of HP tbh, still fuck them im never buying another HP laptop after my last one suffered from a case of HP (Hinge Problems)
Hostile Printers
HdP means SoB in Spanish. Most accurate name ever
