Nickelbackro said: I would love a Linux distro with commercial backing. I know it goes against the open source philosophy, but when a commercial linux distro gets more development support and commercial programs that will mean cross compatible programs to the open source distros, sort of a rising tide raises all ships philosophy. Plus this will be a boon to the driver needs for regular desktops, if linux gets a 5% plus market share, the hardware makers will be forced to support linux or loose out on big business. |
As an Ubuntu user when I can help it, I am similarly excited for this reason.
