Alternatively, I'd rather prefer for them to send changes upstream to Debian so that the entire community gets the benefit.
I wouldn't want to run gLinux(based off of Debian, and meddled with by Google). I'd trust Mainline Debian with community vetted Patches from Google.
- mankash666 9y agoAnd you already have that choice. What's missing is gLinux's availability to Google outsiders. I think gLinux vetted packages are likely to be more secure than the community edition. But, if Google decides to monetize it, they may track the fuck out of consumers like they do on Android. That's the only downside I see to gLinux
- qznc 9y agoI remember that Goobuntu was usually quite outdated as it is based on the latest Ubuntu LTS plus trailing behind a little. Googlers themselves were not tempted to use it at home. That does not matter for Google development, because all their tooling and code comes out of a monorepo. Thus, I really wonder if gLinux wants to follow Debian testing closely? The might trail behind like the Ubuntu releases.
