Tim Sweeney being so against Linux is baffling to me.

You'd think that with Epic battling against Apple and Google's mobile ecosystems that he'd think "huh, we really shouldn't put all our eggs in the Windows basket, what with Microsoft clearly trying to go down the locked-down mobile-like route for Windows", but he doesn't.
