Ubuntu "gets" desktop like Red Hat never will, because ultimately IBMHat is beholden to corporations, whose incentives are not the same as those of independent, small, desktop users.Last edited by vegabook; 19 August 2020, 03:54 PM.

For recent FFmpeg, it was *possible* (I did a shared library build slightly over a month ago) to build versions using lto with the necessary configure flags (which almost certainly vary based on distro, but typically need at least --enable=lto to be added to the FFmpeg configure, typically other flags too) with the latest versions of the compilers. However, embedded FFmpeg (as used in a number of projects) often require some adjustments in the projects configuration processes itself because they do not properly pass along certain flags/options to the FFmpeg configuration. The FFmpeg project will accept bug reports if you are encountering something new, so you should certainly let them know if they broke something.Last edited by FPScholten; 19 August 2020, 03:58 PM.

If the GCC bug is not resolved soon-ish, a proposed fallback is to move to using LLVM, which will get one the equivalent improvements (and, as I recall, Mozilla is using LLVM for their nightly Firefox builds, so it is expected to just build).
Current clang, at least on x86_64, does not understand -fstack-clash-protection and bails if that is used.

But to the point you are likely making, the majority of desktop users of Ubuntu likely pay nothing to no one (other than, perhaps, their ISP if they pay by the byte downloaded).
It is my understanding that the value to most of the Linux distro vendors from their (free) desktop spins would appear to be the (free) testing they get. That *is* worth something, but it is hard to create an accurate profit/loss model, so that it is a good business choice seems as much to do with faith than financials.
