The Linux foundation seems ready to finally axe a Microsoft-made remote network protocol for USB that is still a part of modern Windows operating systems.

    Those are terrible comparisons. The amount of people using SDR and X11 still is gigantic, the amount of people using USB tethering is… not.

      I think you missed the word “regularly” in your sentence. USB tethering is not required very often.

          Well then I can only say I disagree. Tethering isn’t as common as SDR but it’s still a pretty sizeable thing imo.
