I'd love to see Ubuntu being the defacto standard for OS, far better than the fashion-driven MacOS and telemetry-driven Windows. But, I am pretty much against the self-congratulating rhetoric in this thread. Everytime I use Ubuntu, it hangs up. Just today, I tried to install new fonts and the Font manager just froze. The basic UI framework has so many hangups that it is impossible to imagine saying anything positive about it unless 1) People have no expectations 2) Haven't used MacOS or Windows 3) People have low standards for excellence.
That said, this is an open source effort by volunteers. The fact that we have OSS that even come to compare with commercial offering spending billions is amazing and also an indictment that it will never surpass it. Especially with Big Tech making their own custom chips with close integration in the OS.
Someone in SV should start a Gitlab-like venture, but for operating system instead of git. VC-backed and open source.
