> I want us to fund the creation of a next-generation KDE OS we can offer directly to institutions looking to switch to Linux, and a hardware certification program to go along with it. I want us to to extend our promotional activities and outreach to other major distros and vendors and pitch our software to them directly. I want to see Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop ship Plasma by default. I want us to use this money to take over the world — with freedom, empowerment, and kindness.

He's talking about his dreams and personal advocacy if they get Wikimedia-like money.



I see, thanks for sharing. Definitely commendable! I don't like that my last message seemed overly negative, so I want to say I support that dream.

To be realistic, though, I don't think a special distribution is the path. The places they want to be default do have derivatives/children/spins on offer, just not enough mind-share. Making another distribution confounds that further

I hope the intent is to really improve Neon, make it the best KDE Ubuntu that Canonical/others have to follow. Distribution work itself is so unrewarding
