Ask HN: What Next After Ubuntu?
I live in a region with a lot of government contracting businesses, so Red Hat Enterprise Linux is something I have to maintain a working familiarity with.<p>However, I use Debian for all of my personal projects and infrastructure.<p>The reason? There's no for-profit corporate interest directly controlling the project. The project's organizational structure resembles a constitutional democracy:<p><a href="https://www.debian.org/intro/organization" rel="nofollow">https://www.debian.org/intro/organization</a><p>There is an incorporated entity in the United States to handle a number of intellectual property and financial concerns:<p><a href="https://www.spi-inc.org/projects/debian/" rel="nofollow">https://www.spi-inc.org/projects/debian/</a><p>However, it exists as a non-profit with a very narrowly defined, specific set of purposes:<p><a href="https://www.spi-inc.org/corporate/certificate-of-incorporation/" rel="nofollow">https://www.spi-inc.org/corporate/certificate-of-incorporati...</a><p>Because of this, I feel like the Debian project has a good combination of people and resources, making it easy to rely on long-term, but without the for-profit corporate interests that may conflict with my own in the future.
