The problem is that on one side we have "Microsoft" "Apple" "Google" and so on, on the other we have http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Linux_Distribution_Timeline.svg
Having this kind of fragmentation isn't really BAD for the whole linux community, as a developer I spend so much of my time in fixing bugs and watching if other distros already fixed it. I don't like your program/distro? instead of contributing and trying to find some balance between requirements I fork your project. This fork will spare many developers forces, likely die in a couple of years and every good improvement will be lost forever. This is a bug in linux, not in microsoft in my opinion. I can understand debian/ubuntu, mint of me is not an useful distro, since it comes with the same pourpose as ubuntu. Debian instead wants to be stable and "free", so there is a good reason for leaving it. Anyway I have to say as a developer I NEVER introduced a delta in packages I maintain, I always try to find a way to include the fix in debian too, and wait for the ubuntu sync. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 Title: Microsoft has a majority market share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/clubdistro/+bug/1/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
