I love this video. I think it is important to respect people with other views. I really respect Microsoft as i think this world without them would be horrendous. The same for apple. Everyone has their own views on how things should be. And who says we need to have unity? The appeal of using Linux is the freedom and choice. There are so many branches because all Linux is, is just some nerds hobby. And It's my belief that it should stay that way. Even if there was only one distro with only one repository, everyone would flock to the most minimal install and just build their own distros creating the fractures again. In the end, Linux is Linux despite all the fractures. Anything that can be done on one distro, can be done on all the others. If you really know your stuff, it doesn't really matter which one you use.
I use arch BTW

I'll think about it - I do have someone in mind. Lol I appreciate the sentiment, and I agree with it. I'm as stubborn as a mule, though.
Oh, and I'm also of the opinion that we have a Linux community, whether we're unified or not; I've always felt that way. I like that we're a community of communities, because everyone has somewhere to go.
Thinking about it, I think I disagree with the donation part of your CTA, because we don't want to support or encourage bad practices or attitudes.
Lastly, you completely contradicted yourself. Just realised. Your thumbnail says we'll never have a community until we do something, yet at the start of the video you tell us you think we do have a community. So which is it, Derek?! Lol

Quite true. I am not an advanced Linux user. I use FOSS software and Windows. I use -buntu for its ease of use. Neither, indeed, Ubuntu derivatives are not used by advanced users. You use Arch. You prefer terminal emulators over desktop environments. Still, I come to you to learn so many new things about Linux. These days FOSS organisations are slowly and deeply getting involved in politics. That's pretty terrible for the users to form a community where they can have a healthy environment for prudent discussion, just about computer science, without the politics part.

Show respect and kindness to others, especially those you disagree with. Another way of looking at it is treat others the way you want to be treated. Don't wait for the other to make the first step Act first and don't do it with the expectation that the other will return the favor. This doesn't mean be -wishy-washy- or let others walk all over you or take advantage of you. That's my spin.

Well, according to Poettering, the solution is to end individual distributions and only have one Linux... So basically becoming like Microsoft...
Easy to say when RedHat runs that model for years.
They got RHEL, Microsoft got Windows Server/Enterprise. They got Fedora, Microsoft got Windows Home/Professional.
And what Poettering says must be true, right?

I want to learn to program in python, C, assembler (and maybe pearl) because I like to make scripts that can be useful to others and that others help me with their scripts to expand my tools and my knowledge. I am not yet at the point of being able to help to the people, but I would love to be in a community to do it so.

Respect is reserved for parents, good bosses, or people who have earned it. It's a pet peeve of mine how every TOS I read these days demand everyone respect each other, which I believe is a misuse of the word. It's appropriate to expect courtesy and civility among strangers, but not respect.

It would be helpful to newbies at least, if there was one installer, and one file system, and one text editor, one desktop and one kernel, and especially one repo aimed at newbies.
We could call it -Fedora for Newbies OS.- LOL !
( Gnome 40, btrfs, anaconda, pipewire, kernel 5.12, etc. )

Thats funny to me DT, because People like you discourage convenience in favor obscure software -minimalist- by endlessly memeing the bloat software and distribution supremacy eg dont use Ubuntu install gentoo and then Wonder why Linux community is so divisive.

imho Linux unity is our collective liberty
-Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.-
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
And others do follow on paths of freedom, and that is community.
