Outrageous. I don't know why they'd follow Ubuntu, as long as the Canonical philosophy exists in this space, Linux will never grow an inch. I'm thankful to canonical for bringing Ubuntu where it is today but let's be honest, they've constantly been making weird decisions. Please stop and go take a look at ZorinOS, that's what a mainstream distro should look like!

Ubuntu ~always (around 12 years ago) try's to make a proprietary wallet-garden, and fail every single time. It's ridiculous and the complete wrong way to survive in the the Opensource space. The only thing they have at that point is the name Ubuntu.

  Do you mean walled garden or is wallet-garden a play on words having to do with financial schemes and open source?

      What was being asked is whether you're aware that the correct term is "walled garden" (and saying "wallet-garden" as a play on words), or if "wallet-garden" is a mondegreen[1] for you (also recently referred to as a "bone apple tea" thanks to the popularity of a certain subreddit[2]).

  I see Canonical as a slightly worse Red Hat - they both do their own thing for the sake of it being theirs (NIH syndrome to the max), Canonical just occasionally use a proprietary component as an upsell (compared to Red Hat that rely only on an Enterprise sticker as a differentiator). But fundamentally, what exactly is the difference? Both force their newly decided stuff on everyone and all associated distros - be it systemd, podman, dnf, regardless if it's ready or not (podman is still not feature compete with docker, and has regular breaking changes making it hard to for associated tooling to keep up, but it is forced down everyone's throats regardless).

    Well Red Hat goes it's own way, i am not always a big fan of it, but at least everything they buy and create gets opensource'd. So yeah totally on your side here.

    Systemd was integrated in Arch before even Fedora adopted it. Suse does not use dnf and in fact libsolv was originally written by Suse and only then adopted by RH. I just don't see how RH forces them on anybody that isn't a user of Fedora, RHEL and derivatives.
