Probably true, but the direction Linux is going these days is concerning

It's important to remember that this is a story about Ubuntu, and not Linux, and they are two very different projects with different motivations.

Care to elaborate?

  • 1) Corporate forced slop acceptance by e.g. Linus and Debian.

    2) Seeing how bad the Linux kernel is with all the AI CVEs. It will get worse.

    BSD is the future.

    • BSD is the future. Wishful thinking. Nothing bad about it, but chances are low.

      Ss for AI slop. There is lots, but I do not think Linus will tolerate a heavy quality degradation and policies will be set up to strike a good balance.

  • “Concerning” is just a right wing thing to say. They get the habit from Musk. They say it and don’t elaborate, so it kinda operates like a dog whistle.

    • Great "elaboration" (actually it's an "example"), indeed pulling everything into the political dimension is one of the concerning things regarding anything Linux nowadays, imho. Next up: DHH!
