all it took was an apocalypse, the rise of the fourth reich, (soon to be) two global recessions, and continuing unprecedented damage to the world order / faith in international law.
Absolutely wild brand activation tactics from the Linux marketing team.
that’s not a joke lol. governments and businesses actually think like that. Whom are they gonna sue if, for example, CachyOS borks something? Since it being a community developed distro, it doesn’t provide dedicated 24x7 tech support or would quickly patch something because some business’s application stopped working on that distro.

I fucking hate that so many of them are going to Ubuntu berceuse of course they are
Well they want “official” tech support from a company which they can hold accountable for any problems.
“oops sorry we switched back to manual approval mode because our invincible foolproof package management system pushed out malware again”

Having someone to complain to/point fingers at/sue is incredibly important in the business world, and a big part of why M$ is so big.
In fact, just having support is a big thing. Look at how shitty M$ support is. Or Cisco, for that matter.
Not to mention a steady, predictable, accountable release cadence.
If you want that, in the Linux world, it’s basically Ubuntu/Canonical, RedHat/IBM, or Oracle/Oracle.
I’d call Canonical the lessest of 3 evils here…
Well, yes.
