I fucking hate that so many of them are going to Ubuntu berceuse of course they are
Well they want “official” tech support from a company which they can hold accountable for any problems.
you forgot the /s
that’s not a joke lol. governments and businesses actually think like that. Whom are they gonna sue if, for example, CachyOS borks something? Since it being a community developed distro, it doesn’t provide dedicated 24x7 tech support or would quickly patch something because some business’s application stopped working on that distro.
Having someone to complain to/point fingers at/sue is incredibly important in the business world, and a big part of why M$ is so big.
In fact, just having support is a big thing. Look at how shitty M$ support is. Or Cisco, for that matter.
Not to mention a steady, predictable, accountable release cadence.
If you want that, in the Linux world, it's basically Ubuntu/Canonical, RedHat/IBM, or Oracle/Oracle.
I'd call Canonical the lessest of 3 evils here...
