would debian survive without canonical support?
Yeah, because if Canonical disappeared legions of normies will use the next closest thing, Debian
debian existed for like 2 decades before canonical came along
>>107649037canonical's only net positive contribution to desktop Linux in 25 years was mailing out free install discs when the Internet was shit and you couldn't just download ISOs, they have done nothing worthwhile since
>>107649037They can but at this point is like the Linux Kernel. Corporation will bleed too much money and the kernel will stagnate if they try to go their separate ways. Same with SUSE and openSUSE, Fedora and RHEL. Arch is preparing such a dependency with Valve, they already received a package signing server because pretty much all maintainers signed with their own computers.https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/new-maintainers.cgi
>>107649037All they do is give money to trannies and browns. What does it matter?
>>107649037KekIt's the other way around, zoomer tard
>>107649037a lot of Debian devs are really just Canonical engineers paid to work on Debian afaik, they'd lose most of their upstream development. they're also a big sponsor of the project which already isn't financially stable. they'd have it rough.
>>107649037Don't care. Canonical have been totally captured by Microjeets themselves.
>>107649794this, i think a lot of people think open source is just random dudes doing their own projects in their spare time. the reality is that a huge amount of foss development, especially in large areas like games and virtualization and whatever else, is spearheaded by big corps like canonical and red hat and others. it's honestly the best of all worlds for the consumer. linux is an insanely good experience for something that is free, and it's open source to boot
>>107649037Daily reminder that canonical support pedophiles.
>>107649157Unity was cool but they killed it, also ubuntu touch but they killed that too, so you're sadly right.
>>107649848Ur a pedofile
>>107649879>y-youre a pedoUh oh butthurt kiddydiddler alert.Nigger, if I had a button that would kill all pedophiles I’d build a device that presses it automatically 50000000 times a day.
>>107649126But would those people contribute to debian development?
>>107649848Citation?
RetardUbuntu exists because of Debian, not the other way around
>>107649848Canonical fired him. Debian and GNOME still accept him with open arms, though.
>>107649126>normies will use the next closest thing, DebianNot while it's stuck with default "libre" pigheadedness. Yes, I know Bookworm/12 started to change that, but the fact is a lot of Debian developers are Stallmen-headed when it comes to the distro for non-server/non-libre purposes.I love Debian, but I went Arch (which I use, BTW</meme>) is simply because for a gaming PC you can't really use Debian if something needs a newer update because even Sid won't be super latest at times.
>>107649875>UnityDogshit.>TouchWe have a Linux distro for phones, it's called "Google Android."
>>107650153Source?If true canonical is redeemed.
>>107649848Like, baby paedophile? Or pre-teen paedophile or the ones into teens?
>>107649157Netplan is okhttps://netplan.io/
>>107650192there was a screenshot of his banned Ubuntu forum account too but I couldn't easily find ithis user still shows up for future releases of GNOME, don't know about Debian though
>>107649922Why would you need to press it more than once? Bad engineering...
>>107650244Anything a below, idk, at least 16 is pedophillic. Why do you ask?>>107650309Glad they banned him.
>>107650351It’s called hyperbole.And new pedos will be born each week so you’d need to press it more than once.Nice try though faggot.
