one of the most popular linux desktop environments and distros
Oh you mean the DE they abandoned almost 10 years ago?
Is selling user data to Amazon and harvesting data illegally from Azure VMs not enough for users to tell them to stick their terminal ads up their ass? I don’t think that’s unfair.
I know that guy is a crazy tankie, I’ve see him around. What he brought up is a bunch of shit intended to waste time. He doesnt care about any of those things so trying to argue is a waste of time and most of its untrue or misleading.
… then just block him, if you don’t enjoy interacting with him?
But also, nothing he’s said here is untrue or misleading.
Its, again, quite relevant to a discussion of Canonincal’s business practices and how they contribute to Linux more broadly.
If you don’t know, about a decade ago, Canonical kind of fucked over GNOME, said they’d make their own DE, and then basically never did.
Hence my earlier quip about Canonical being the reason GNOME devs are… lets say, very strong willed and set in their ways, these days.
GNOME != Canonical.
The only actual numbers I can find are that Canonical donates $120k a year to all other open source projects, but I can’t find any breakdown of how much of that $120k goes to GNOME, or what all of those projects are.
… This is part of why I was asking if you could clarify for me, what it is that Canonical does exactly, in terms of helping out the Linux ecosystem.

Fuck off Tankie, I will not fall for your concern trolling bait today.
I mean, I also dislike tankies, but simply having a .ml user account does not automatically make someone a tankie.
Also, they’re not concern trolling.
What they brought up is highly, directly relevant, and it also is not a hypothetical, its … just reality.
I don’t think you know what ‘tankie’ or ‘concern trolling’ mean.

Ok shill. Where’s your canonical DE?
Oh, uh, that’s over at PopOS!, who are basically actually doing / trying to do what Canonical said they were gonna do, 5-10 years ago.
