Honestly i agree, that's why i love that more and more debian based distros are emerging, lot of times from distros that used to be based on ubuntu
How many votes in Debian councils does Canonical own these days? The systemd vs Upstart discussion and vote at Debian was so protracted because Canonical bought votes in Debian's Technological Council.
I didn't knew that, the canonical influence on debian can really become a problem down the line. I will also checkout more about what canonical did along the years
systemd vs Upstart began almost exactly 10 years ago: https://www.phoronix.com/news/MTQ5NzQ
When I tried looking up current affiliations, I was either super clumsy in googling or potential conflicts of interests are simply not documented. https://www.debian.org/intro/organization.en.html lists the members but not who sponsors their work and googling each name individually is a bit too much for what's only superficial curiosity on my part, so I'm honestly out of the loop who is being paid by Canonical these days.
Thank you, i'm going todive deeper on this when i have the time
