On one hand I’m interested in seeing how well it works and what they do with it, on the other hand…

SFC thinks they are in violation of the GPL for what that’s worth.

I wish Ol’ Debian would get the love it deserves, especially for enterprise where their “stability over the latest flashiest software” philosophy should really shine. People on the desktop side criticizing how slowly Debian packages update is generally responded with “well it’s a server OS first and foremost, the Debian derivatives are more suited for desktop,” so why does no one use Debian for servers? And as far as I know Debian has always prioritized stability and reliability above anything else, and have never pulled any sort of corporate antics even close to what Canonical and Red Hat have pulled.

As far as I know Fedora is fully detached from RHEL and is its own independent distro, most others still rely on RHEL as their upstream.

Ubuntu is the stepping stone from Mac/Windows to Linux. Like the tutorial level. It’s also one of the most “corporate” Linux OS vendors outside of RedHat. Of course it’s shitty lol.

The most popular non-Canonical derivatives, Linux Mint and POP OS, have both totally rejected and vocally criticize Canonical’s bullshit, Snap or otherwise. This isn’t going to make the fall in line, this is going to make them finally get serious about ditching Ununtu and switching directly to the upstream Debian base.

“We hate your government, not you. So we’re going to screw you over just for being in a specific place.”

I want it to succeed, but it probably won’t.

When someone says that Microsoft is NOT an ally to free software on /r/opensource, they’re almost ALWAYS downvoted. Then their prized company pulls this shit.

They don’t.

While we’re on the subject, neither does Google.

Fun fact: if you use Proton to run a Windows game in Linux, Steam reports it as a Linux player, so developers of many “Windows only” games will actually see a number of Linux users in their analytics.
