I don't think that follows logically. People who won't pay for Red Hat, after Red Hat's deemphasis of desktop work, might still willingly pay for another desktop focused distribution.

However, there are a lot of other types of desktop work which Red Hat does, which are continuing or even increasing in resources. * Pipewire * Filling in the Wayland gaps, e.g. color management and HDR * Contributions to Firefox e.g. VAAPI hardware acceleration * Mesa / RADV driver contributions * Improving the Nvidia driver situation in collaboration with Nvidia It's perfectly fine to be upset about the work that's being stopped, but some people in this thread are acting like everything is shutting down, which is ridiculous. And it's not like this stuff that is being worked on is insignificant, either.
