Canonical is a small loss-making company which has managed to expand their user-base and mind-share at a dramatic rate.
Is it fair to compare directly their contributions with larger long-standing profitable companies like Red Hat or Novell? And is it fair to measure their community involvement on kernel contributions alone when they primarily focus on consumer-facing elements of their distribution?
- michaelneale 18y agoIts not fair when you put it like that, but then canonical are pushing ubuntu as being more important to linux then it currently is. That is fine if it raises the profile and helps linux on the user facing side (a rising tide lifts all ships) but they seem to want to rubbish all the others who are actually doing the work that they use.
