"Evil is generally accepted to be defined as the intention of causing harm or destruction while threatening or deliberately violating morality."

Did Canonical burn your computer or something? Killed your cat?
That's one definition, but if you want to stick to it, then fine, let's use the original qualifier; how can Canonical step up in their selfishness? There aren't any more steps. They are pretty much as selfish as distributions go.


What I'm saying is, Ubuntu is providing a driver that WORKS. Users don't care about experimental, half-working drivers, trust me.
Yes, but that doesn't benefit the linux community only users from Ubuntu, and that doesn't require Canonical to lift a finger! You see they are not doing anything! Just including one package by default.

And of course, what happens when NVIDIA decides to stop supporting certain cards, what are those users to do? How is Ubuntu addressing that problem that will happen eventually. They aren't doing anything at all, they rely utterly and completely on the linux community to solve that problem.


They will be giving their users the best experience. How's that not true?

It's like saying Windows doesn't give people the best experience because Microsoft didn't work on the nVIDIA/ATI drivers.
It would be strictly true, but deceiving. The true linux community did it; Fedora, Debian, Archlinux... not Ubuntu. Ubuntu only takes, never gives. A leecher.


I am tempted to try this, but I don't have a 2nd hard drive to spare. I'm farily confident Fedora's installer is a bit more cryptic than Ubuntu's.
Based on what? Did you dream it? How about you try to form your opinions on facts?


Good. That means they are using the most sensible solution and not jumping on the ITLLWORKLATER projects that pop up every year or so.
When Fedora introduced it in a release it worked perfectly fine, otherwise they wouldn't have included it. Fedora is fertile ground for innovation and stays stable. Of course you wouldn't know that because Ubuntu tells you that if they are not doing it, it must be wrong, and you believe it.


Why aren't you trying to improve the frontends? Oh, wait, it's easier to call out Canonical.
Are you insane? Nobody is relying on Canonical, that's precisely the point; Canonical doesn't contribute.

The fontend is improving without the help from Canonical. Nobody is relying on Fedora, nor Archlinux, nor Debian. This is the commons; everyone contributes and we all benefit.

Again, it's GPL. They can take it, modify it, and even sell it. All without being required to contribute back.

Why are you repeating the same? Yes, they can decide to not collaborate, and they are doing so, we are merely pointing the fact that they are doing it.


Oh, it doesn't? Hey, let's use my distro's package manager to remo-- darn it.
What are you even talking about? The point is that they contribute.
