    Ubuntu maybe, but Linux ain't a product. Most Linux distros aren't there to make a profit, they're there because someone thought they'd be useful. They don't care about markets hare or anything like that.

    If you put the faults of Ubuntu on all of Linux then you don't know much about Linux at all.

    If Ubuntu does stupid shit, let it fail who cares there's a billions distros to choose that provide a better experience than Ubuntu, and certainly better than Windows and macOS

      Goalpost moving fuck.

      Not there to make a profit? Then why the fuck do all of the major distros have donation pages, and shops, and foundations, and all of the other things that generate money for a handful of people? Stop fucking acting like mainstream Linux distros are still Slackware equivalent one-man operations. That's horseshit and you fucking know it.

        To help for whatever, but they're donations, not selling you anything, not there for profit.

        shops, and foundations, and all of the other things that generate money for a handful of people?

        Not every distro, not even every mainstream distro, has this. And not every one of these things is necessarily there to make a profit over being a simple donation.

        If you think accepting donation necessarily means wanting to make a profit then you might not be the brightest star in the sky
