Honestly, the world doesn't owe Canonical a business model. They don't get to do whatever they like and not suffer criticism.

- kevincrane 13y agoI like Ubuntu and want them to keep surviving, so they get to pick a business model. If you don't like it, don't use their product.
- mdellabitta 13y agoI don't, and I also reserve the right to say that I don't like this aspect of their business model.
- chappi42 13y agoAnd you feel proud to use a well polished system that Canonical prepared for you without paying? Motto: I have my OS, it's free & I owe nothing, Canonical can look for themself? The alternative (well polished, reasonably easy/user friendly) is apple and windows. No more free. I think much criticism is shallow.
- mdellabitta 13y agoNope, I don't use Ubuntu.
- chappi42 13y agoSo you're not concerned about Ubuntu. Why don't you then let Ubuntu try _their_ thing and be happy with the Linux ecosystem which provides so much choice? Why the strong critisizing? It was an apt-get remove --purge .. to remove the things I didn't like. The things I like I can download from everywhere, much much more difficult with Mac/Windows (how would I e.g. get XCode other than through iTunes?)
