The interview is in english
TIL
- Mark was a Debian contributor
- His goal was to make Linux succeed like Dropbox and Netflix
- He acknowledges how ChromeOS and Android (both newer than Ubuntu afaik) shaped the Linux Desktop
- ChromeOS uses upstart, the init system that Canonical created
- Canonical is smaller than SUSE
- Mark considers Ubuntu to be more open than Fedora because they have
flatpakin their repos (well, Snaps arent sandboxed outside of Apparmor, so that just makes sense I guess?) - Ubuntu kept in contact with GNOME while switching to Unity, so they could easily fall back
- Microsofted lured in Linux devs with money, to make licensed software
- The cloud department in Microsoft was pretty progressive, using Linux anyways
- Azurelinux is a competitor against Ubuntu
