Those who are complaining that Ubuntu is diverging from most other Linux distros forget that this is the nature of open source software and competition. Part of the success of open source software is that it's highly evolutionary. Good successful projects attract a following and get better. For this to happen, you have to have choice and diversity. There has to be competing flavors, libraries, and distros all vying for market share. What Ubuntu is doing is great for us all. Providing more alternatives in the Linux ecosystem than just relying on X/Wayland/Whatever.
