Canonical is prepping for IPO. Preparatory enshitification is under way. Ask yourself why no one uses redhat outside of corporate IT these days. Between pushing shitty incompatible snaps in an anti competitive non Foss manner. Locking some security updates behind a subscription. Which they did open up a little after the backlash. It's pretty plain why. They're done focusing on providing quality to the end user. And instead gearing up to pursue monetization at all cost.

Even down stream distros are looking upstream as they see the writing on the wall. Mint the number one recommended starter distro these days has long had a Debian experimental branch. Which they've been more seriously looking at. Since getting where they want to be is only getting harder when they have to de canonical first.
