Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu Last week, during Ubuntu's OpenWeek, Mark Shuttleworth joined in for a two hour Q&A session, where he answered a wide range of questions regarding Ubuntu and its parent company, Canonical. They ranged from questions regarding Canonical's relationship with Dell, all the way up to Shuttleworth's response to Greg Kroah-Hartman's criticism of Canonical.

all valid arguments

I think most of the people have valid arguments. What will happen to Ubuntu if Mark decides to call it quits? The company is NOT making money. Also, Adamw has a valid point. Ubuntu, which IS taking users from other distro's, isnt matching those distro's contributions. That means less patches will be produced overall. I don't use Ubuntu but I understand why people like it. It would have been nice if instead of open attacks, the kernel developers urged Mark to devote some people to fixing problems. Maybe that has already been tried and thats why we are here now, I don't know.
