Can you expand on your comment a bit? Maybe I've got rose colored glasses but I felt Linux had more of community feel ~10 years ago. When Ubuntu was ascendant but still had that scrappy feel, lots of Gentoo users were funrolling loops, and Red Hat wasn't owned by IBM. There's also the problem (IMHO) of OSX having pulled otherwise Linux-first developers away. I feel an especially heavy effect on desktop efforts like Wayland and Systemd. Some time since then, things went a bit "weird".
