The problem they're not discussing much of is support. This Canonical and Microsoft thing is still grey area. Ubuntu has (and still does) some sneaky BS.
For example, Linux users, check your default search engine URL's in the browser settings to ensure Canonical isn't getting analytic info on your searches. I know it's in the DuckDuckGo default. I always have to remove that.

SSG Derek Scheller - Pros and cons of anyone being able to create their own official Linux distro. Maybe one day I'll get on RP ranting about PCBSD. . . .

SSG Derek Scheller - I'm down, in time. I want to finish this OpenStack edX training and an article for Opensource.com first, though. I saw but haven't read your most recent one, yet.
