Author is saying that the company already decided they are migrating from Ubuntu to Fedora. That’s not the controversy.
In a Slack channel, someone said “Ubuntu is doomed”. Not because Ubuntu, as a distro, will soon reach end-of-life, but because at $COMPANY, Ubuntu will be replaced by Fedora. That is to say, “Ubuntu is doomed (at $COMPANY)”.
What author is objecting to is people joining the conversation several hours later and expressing unhappiness that someone is predicting the end of Ubuntu everywhere.
But that’s because the new person wasn’t in the conversation, lacks context, and maybe should start by assuming the best intent rather than the worst intent.
