It is a For-profit without any means of Generating income (unlike Truenas or Suse which have a paid enterprise version)
Since there is no way of making money, it is apparent they will pull a Plex and Enshittify once they have the noobs on board
At least it uses docker, so you can export the images, but who knows when this will change
It uses discord as forum. They cant even get themselves to use their own OS to install a matrix server on there.
They are not even Private. Their FAQ literally says „They will try to limit data collection“

You want to use some shitty OS by some shitty company? Go sign your soul to Windows Server you lobotomite

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Linux allows for freedom. There is room for For-Profit distro's that have data collection and whatever.

Yes, but most users will exercise their freedom to ignore such distros.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
