    Yes, it will but so slowly and further down the road, nobody at IBM will see the connection. When Fedora (or desktop Linux in general) will be slightly less appealing to people who in 10 years will become the decision makers at IT departments, it’ll weaken the position of Linux and in turn the commercial support providers.

    Guess, everyone who does not yet own a Steam Deck needs to get one because Valve seems to be the biggest commercial proponent of consumer GNU/Linux.

      With redhat withdrawing from FOSS and Ubuntu making a sour flavor of Debian… I think it will either be debian or SUSE.

        I’ve seen that about Ubuntu a few times. Can someone provide me with a TLDR or a good summary article of what’s happened to them? Also is it their server stuff too or just desktop? (I use Ubuntu on my home server and have for years)
