    As an Ubuntu user for many years, I'm glad to hear they're financially stable.

    I haven't necessarily liked all of their decisions but in the end they've been a solid Debian + Gnome based distro for me.

        Ubuntu is ultra-solid on the server space as well. And far more developer and ops friendly than RH while being far cheaper.

          good to see they spend a significant part in R&D, even if I usually don't like what they offer (mir, snap, upstart and so on) and their licensing.

              Does Canonical contribute anything upstream?

                Great!

                I hope they can get more partners and independent software vendors (such as Apache, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Lighttpd, Bun, Valkey, etc) to publish software on the Snap store.

                I hope they can get Cockpit to feature management of Snap packages so you can install Snap packages over a web UI instead of over SSH.

                  Will you buy some?

                  I'm curious if they're hiring people to join the desktop team this year, how it will play out in the future.

                  They have few developers.
                  For example, Novell/Suse has 2300.
                  Red Hat 19k.

                  But of course we have no idea how their powers are distributed.

                  They're just numbers.

                  For how many people Canonical has, it has become world-class.​

                    Yes, troll. Google it.
