I know what I am talking about. What does ubuntu do and for which community?
Ubunutu only cares about Ubuntu. Nothing else. Redhat, Novell, Mandriva - they are PAYING UPSTREAM DEVS. Without them X, kernel, KDE/gnome would be in a very sorry state. So would be gcc.
Ubuntu? They take, they don't give back. Just because a patch can be found somewhere means nothing. You have to TELL upstream that there is something that might be interresting. Even better SEND it upstream. Ubuntu does neither. You can not expect that upstream devs scan ubuntu's servers for some patches.
In short, they do nothing, except creating 'howtos' for ubuntards with shoddy quality and bad advise.
Ubuntu leeches from everybody else and give back idiots spouting crap and howtos nobody should use.
Oh and that:
>They also focus on the various pieces that glue together a distro to try and make the user experience more pleasant.
is just marketing bullshit. Every distro does that. Ever did. And before there was ubuntu there was already Mandriva/mandrake, Mepis, Xandros, Lindows.
The difference? Less marketing dollar. And better behaviour.
the evidence is out there:
Ubuntu takes and gives nothing back.
the 'community' lives from people giving back.
ubuntu hurts the 'communty'.
Greg has shown the evidence. The net is full with more.
Just have a look at ubuntard.com.
