TBH, I could imagine Mark Shuttleworth being there.
He is one of the first, if not the first space tourist.
yeah I always thought he was kind of a tool who appropriated floss and used his money to buy status in the community
There may be technical things we may not like about Ubuntu, but Ubuntu has been the flagship distribution which has brought countless people into Linux. After that introduction, many have gone to other distros.
There are successful distributions based on Ubuntu, so Ubuntu doesn't limits choice or freedom.
I don't understand shitting on financial success of FLOSS. Remember, free as in freedom, not necessarily as in beer.
Ubuntu doesn't prevent you, technically or legally from disabling snaps.
I rather not use Ubuntu, though but I think the impact has been a net positive.
I think I'd agree that the existence of Ubuntu is overall a good thing I just get bad rich white guy vibes from Shuttleworth I will give him credit for sticking to free values
