ROTFLMAO.... Let me fix that headline - "Canonical will be resting in Mir soon". Might be good for those who sell short to have that IPO tho...

That's part of the company's ethos that you simply don't seem to understand.

Damn forum won't let me quote now....
Anyway, I agree, it's not a linux distro's job to support everything. It's their job to make what they distribute work. I don't agree with a lot of RHs choices in the software they develop, but they are putting real money and resources to do it. And that is a good thing.
Systemd, PulseAudio, dbus, etc may fail and end up being a total waste of effort, but at least RH is putting effort somewhere. The thing is that RH does a lot of good for OSS. They do contribute resources to good projects. They aren't a bad company. A lot of what they develop is a total waste of effort, but alot of other things they develop is really good.
Where-as the only things Canonical develops is for themselves. As such everything they develop is a total waste of effort. All in all Redhat is better for OSS than Canonical.Last edited by duby229; 23 May 2015, 10:43 AM.

If Mark Shuttleworth opens up the company, how long will he remain "benevolent dictator for life" as he butts heads with the board?
