   @halva @0xabad1dea Because people keep using their shit Linux distro and treating it like the gold standard.

   They should have been irrelevant and out of business a decade ago.

     The thing is, lots of corps "need" "a throat to choke", because they still simply can't wrap their heads around what the fuck "FOSS" is. They want to make a contract with another company with a friendly salesperson and a support desk because it makes them feel safer than "hire your own people to be part of the community, write patches and support the OS for you.

     And Canonical, Red Hat, and SUSE are happy to be those people.

     @JessTheUnstill @halva @0xabad1dea Lots of them aren't paying for it though. They're just using it.

     And if you are going to pay, RedHat or SUSE seem like the more professional options actually supporting enterprise needs. Ubuntu is more the kind of enshittification you expect from a "Home" grade OS.
