Every single time there's a topic about Ubuntu or Canonical you seem to go straight into offensive mode. I can tell you use Fedora, but that's not typical of Fedora users and developers and no excuse.

I'm an open source developer and believer, but this kind of behavior slowly burns my soul, even more when it seems accepted. I've worked on enough projects in my life that it's absolutely certain that you use my code regularly. It's inside Go, Python, APT, and RPM by the way (hello Jeff Johnson, wherever you are), and in key libraries that you surely depend on as well. And I never heard you complaining about any of that with such anger here.

I'm also Canonical's CTO, and I was one of the key designers and developers that started snaps, and juju, and other key projects from Canonical. I usually hear such blind hate in silence, but sometimes it's just too much. I don't understand why do we do that to ourselves, as a Linux community. Why is it okay to openly offend unknown people that we almost certainly depend upon? What is it that we came here to do, again?
