    Community systems are not bad, that’s most of Linux, but there needs to be an ethical, FOSS-friendly enterprise system to get corpos invested in Linux and FOSS. Besides, corporate systems usually have massive dev teams and upstream/open-source a lot of their work. As much as I shit on Canonical and Red Hat, they’ve done immense amounts of beneficial work for Linux and FOSS.

      That makes sense, thank you. My question above was specifically about Debian, since I’ve heard the point of it being community based used negatively in other places/threads too.

        I didn’t mean it in a negative light. The issue is that companies prefer to trust other companies, which is why it’s good to have a moral company to point to.

        Fun fact: For a few years HP was very invested in Debian because they saw that as the most likely successor to their old HP-UX Unix on mainframe servers.
