They should spend that instead trying to make Windows 10 not suck so hard. They probably need this amount just to pay HR to fire all of the failures that are ruining Windows with UWP, S mode, and Cortana garbage.
Hopefully the SJW elements attempting to subvert and ruin the kernel project just as they did Red Hat and Gnome via Outreachy are identified and publically shamed so they aren't able to easily ruin any other projects in the future.
A smart person in one field does not always or even often carry that intelligence and understanding to another field.
For instance, scientists are some of the most intelligent people in all of the United States. But I wouldn't trust the great majority of them to configure a home router securely let alone run off on a tax burning mission to consolidate IT infrastructure and chase down the gold medal in 'How To Do IT Wrong And Blame It On The Technology Instead Of Admit Perfectly Reasonable Ineptitude'.
I know quite a few people in the Navy, much respect to all of them, but to attribute their ability to take on a task of this magnitude (pop pop) based on their intelligence ranking among the armed forces in its entirety isn't exactly a high bar to begin with.
Full disclosure: I manage the project I am about to propose your use of.
CentOS and its upstream RHEL6 is great on the desktop and I too feel that going from Fedora to RHEL there are just way too many things I miss. I also hated everything Gnome was doing with gnome-shell and gtk3. So I made a fork of RHEL6 that had everything I needed (an OpenVZ compatible kernel), dahdi packages via rpm, proprietary Nvidia packages and something that offered the functionality of EPEL/RPMForge/ELRepo/rpmfusion without them breaking each other through dependencies.
We use it as the foundation of our cloud voip platform on our servers but also use it on our workstations so we can easily build and deploy virtual containers. It's called CCT Enterprise Linux (http://www.classiccitytelco.com/?page_id=488) and has most packages from EPEL, gstreamer*ugly functionality, and nvidia drivers for CUDA developers or those that just want functional OpenGL support. It sounds like we ran into the same problems, so hopefully the solution I spent some time on putting together might help you out.
If you install it and wonder where all the extra packages are, remember to enable cct-extras and cct-nonfree. That's where all of the non-RHEL packages live.
Hope that helps you out, but if you prefer Fedora and Mate, I completely understand.
I am a long time Amazon customer but when it came time to choose a multimedia ebook reader, the Nook Color was just the best deal for me. And to make it more attractive, it's easy to through android on there (though I prefer the stock firmware) and has the ability to let you increase the storage space via a microsd card. It's a great value and I've loved it so far.
I heard about this new Amazon device and got excited that I might be able to do all the things I love from the nook, but now with Amazon.
But no epub support, no microsd slot expansion, no thanks.
this reminds me of a skit eddie izzard did.

"Looks a bit like a stupid design choice."
That pretty much sums up everything that's been designed in Linux since 2010. systemd, gnome 3, grub2, etc.

Just deleted Google Chrome off my computers and have never felt so happy I run my own jabber server.
I wonder how long until Google will retire Gtalk for good so that Google+ can take over in a bid to get more than 4 users.
