Just when I thought I didn’t need further proof that Linux on the Desktop is shit the leading enterprise desktop Linux distribution (Ubuntu) decides to force everyone to accept or reject their Desktop Pro solicitation, so they are no better than Microsoft, at all. Apple is a lock-in ecosystem. Microsoft is a semi-locked-in ecosystem that allows a full, unfettered Ubuntu (or any Linux kernel) to be run on their proprietary system. And Ubuntu just proved their intent: become the enterprise desktop distro. And, why wouldn’t they. That has been Shuttleworth’s intent all along. He just never said anything about shilling FOSS software to those users every fucking day.
So until anyone can show me a viable Linux desktop distro that any conservative organization would allow their workers to use, well, I’ll just eat popcorn and watch the madness play out. I’ve accepted the reality that Microsoft (yes Microsoft) has — by far — the best Linux Desktop distribution on the market today (as of Feb 2022). That might change tomorrow, but that is the state of affairs today.
