As an African with access to reasonable traditional cattle farming, I can say that American beef tastes like crap. Looks amazing, but tastes like crap.

Colonialism has always been driven by centralized interests. Whether they are after mineral resources, control of trade networks, or acquisition of productive land. It's always the elite that seek to own, control and exploit.

Whether its the Muslims invading North Africa and the Balkans 500 years ago, or Israel invading Palestine today. They genocide and exploit the local populations for the benefit of the powerful elite.

Kings, Imams, Popes, Rabbis and Dictators are responsible for most of the bloodshed in the region by lying to and exploiting people's trust.

It's not the distro that's the problem, it's the company that controls it.

I think the model of an open source version of a proprietary/commercial distro is broken at a business model level.

How many times over the years have we seen the commercial entity make the open source product worse on purpose.

Red Hat, Canonical and SUSE all have mixed histories with their communities.

Personally, I think a debian, arch or KDE style project, funded by donations, is much more sustainable and responsive to its communities.

It is important to acknowledge that the root problem is the concentration of power. It does not matter which side.

When the population gives unrestricted power to their leaders, be that out of fear, desperation, religion or economic reasons, those leaders never give it back. It has to be taken back.

True, just not opensuse.
