Just for fun, I decided to try and imagine what a Linux distro would look like if it got hit by the enshittification stick that seems to affect every digital product of service these days. 👏 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: Get access to: a Daily Linux News show, a weekly patroncast for more personal thoughts, polls on the next topics I cover,, your name in the credits, YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thelinuxexp/join Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thelinuxexperiment Or, you can donate whatever you want: https://paypal.me/thelinuxexp Liberapay: https://liberapay.com/TheLinuxExperiment/ 👕 GET TLE MERCH Support the channel AND get cool new gear: https://the-linux-experiment.creator-spring.com/ 🎙️ LINUX AND OPEN SOURCE NEWS PODCAST: Listen to the latest Linux and open source news, with more in depth coverage, and ad-free! https://podcast.thelinuxexp.com 🏆 FOLLOW ME ELSEWHERE: Website: https://thelinuxexp.com Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/web/@thelinuxEXP Pixelfed: https://pixelfed.social/TLENick PeerTube: https://tilvids.com/c/thelinuxexperiment_channel/videos Discord: https://discord.gg/mdnHftjkja Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 01:25 Big Tech Linux 02:48 Mandatory Account 03:41 Privacy Invasion 04:17 Ads are coming 05:38 Time for AI 06:39 Tiering up 08:54 Final steps 10:41 Parting Thoughts

    I know this is a joke but “Enshittification” requires there to be a monopoly that abuses commercial customers along with users. Linux distros can’t really have monopolies since the switching costs are so low.

      The video actually addresses that by mentioning a company coming in nice at first and then doing EEE to kill off ll competition and leave them the only significant player in the space

      Real question, how difficult is moving from Red Hat to SUSE?

        How hard is it for you to install a different distro? That’s how hard.

      it can happen if you have some form vendor lockin, or if you are an oligarch in a cartel. it doesnt need a monopoly strictly speaking.
