You can take this message however you want.
Anyone hoping that Ubuntu Linux will reach critical mass adoption is in for a surprise. Under the governance of Canonical Ltd. a corporate structure to receive IOUs from one Mr. Mark Shuttleworth, Ubuntu Linux is moving sideways. It has been a boat without an anchor and no clear charted course.
The good news is that one Distro has overtaken it. Yes, I've been showing my bias for quite some time. Most of my readership know that. But it must be said.
Quietly, industriously, cooperatively, success is here for a true champion Linux on the Desktop. It is with the arrival of Fedora 21 Workstation I officially see a product with fit and finish that goes beyond what Unity on Ubuntu can ever offer. Ubuntu lacks critical leadership to be truly successful on a global scale. It has moved in different directions yet not with the best interests of the Linux Community. Unity has driven a wedge into the community and has become an island on which no other Distro wants to set foot. There is no broad support for Unity from the Linux Communiity.
Fedora 21 Workstation integrates, with close direct participation and involvement in design, GNOME Shell 3.14. Red Hat has taken The GNOME Project under her wing, providing direct infrastructure support for all GNOME-related websites.
This is a turning point. Fedora 21 Workstation is on a footing to take the mantle and prestige away from Ubuntu. It succeeds where Ubuntu does not. Fedora moves forward with clear, published, pragmatic planning and the full support of its community and has traction. Ubuntu is spinning her wheels and by mere association with Debian will continue to suffer as dependence slows progress by default.
There is no substitute for #1. Fedora 21 Workstation is truly Linux done right. -- Dietrich
