Can we refocus on the issues at hand?

What I'm going to say now is knowing that managing a project as Ubuntu
has its challenges, and Canonical and the community does its best at it.
I believe that the particular issue that Jonathan pointed out to be
true. Moreover I believe it is all. It is the source of all zapped
morale, been unclear on who are you building your software to.
In the early days of Ubuntu it was crystalline that you were building
your software for the common welfare, so crystalline that in my city
someone carved in wood the Ubuntu logo in their home door.
Later it was thought that addressing the operating system to a more
wider audience was the right move to take. Then the brand was made more
generic and the dialogue was restricted.
Seeing <https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=%2Fm%2F03x5qm> we can
affirm that was a mistake. The graph is strongly in its bearing
tendency, and only if we make the environment trusty by design this
tendency will change.
The aim should not be competition, but collaboration. The only person
who you are competing with is yourself. If Ubuntu, Debian, GNOME or KDE
doesn't succeed it isn't because of been worse one from the other, but
as result of their unsolved inner issues. Once these are gone, you win
by design.
