[17:59] <fyf> hi
[18:02] <fyf> im not sure if marketing chooses strategy or just tries to fix bug #1 the best it can with what bdfl and devs decide, but y is ubuntu using increasing amounts of closed source/restricted packages in 20.10, and wouldnt a libre version (purchaseable on hw) become a simple-stupid way to switch to ubuntu/linux, kind of how apple has few devices that work well
[18:04] <fyf> freedom/transparency is a major selling point for switching from windows (and not to apple) and yet ubuntu is moving away from those 2 goals. compiling resources are much cheaper/plentiful now vs when ubuntu started, which is why an officially sanctioned libre/free ubuntu (Fubuntu?) might sell?
