Successful Open Source Communities
by this, we should be using systemd.
open source "success" is based on similar measures as corporate success-- marketshare, "interoperability" and "enterprise." its got nothing to do with more complete goals. in fact it treats goals as the problem-- if you have solid goals youre not "compromising," you can always accomplish "more" if your goals are less idealistic. personally i find that very cynical.
red hat is the best example, canonical want to be red hat though arent.
whenever theres a story, "open source" flocks towards the "brave" or "exciting" efforts to make things more like redmond, cupertino, silicon valley, and the neckbeards dont.
by open source measures, neckbeards "dont understand success" but imo, they just define it differently.
its apple(tm) and oranges. it starts with "we want to do 'as well' as our 'competitors'", then "we need to do what theyre doing," then evetually we might as well be them.
aka "why are you using linux, thats what wsl is for."
