    If Linux suddenly started gaining traction on a bigger scale, Microsoft would make a user-facing proprietary distro and those bastards would still flock to it.

      Most likely yeah :D After all even the other community got burned by CentOS and decided to move to Ubuntu in mass instead of picking a true open-source distro…

          It is, but it’s also made by the same company that from time to time likes to add spyware into things… or fork open-source projects and change licenses just because they felt like it. Using Ubuntu on a professional environment has the same risks that using CentOS had, we never know when someone at Canonical will change the license and fuck everyone over.
