Ubuntu founder talks about Ubuntu's contribution to Linux

When it comes to the contribution to the Linux community, a white paper published by Linux Foundation in March lists the top 20 companies that contribute the most to the community. In this list, you can find the names of the familiar Linux systems: Novell (now changed to SUSE), Red Hat and The Linux Foundation. There is no Ubuntu? Yes, find it again, there is no Ubuntu! Take a closer look, Microsoft is in the list, is Microsoft's contribution to the Linux community bigger than Ubuntu? Mark · Shuttleworth, as the founder of Ubuntu, is such a reply " We are concerned about the user experience, how easy it is to use! " In reply to CNET reporter's email, Mark · Shuttleworth then explained: "Stabilization and maintenance system kernel is very important for Ubuntu. At Canonical, we have about 25 core engineers, ensuring that we can work well from the arm architecture to the Xeon processor. The job of the kernel team is to ensure that Ubuntu works well in the notebook, server or cloud. They are responsible for the most commonly used kernels in the Ubuntu version. " Then Mark · Shuttleworth said: "Our team leads the ARM Tree integration, and our Linux version is the most popular. We also maintain Apparmor, which is a security framework to ensure that it is easy to use ". In answering Ubuntu is not on the list, Mark · Shuttleworth said: "The kernel part is a small Ubuntu user experience. Partly. We will not take the R&D kernel as our primary goal. We stay ahead of the Unity desktop environment, and the addition of tools such as MAAS [Metal as a Service] and Juju makes Linux an ideal environment for developers, allowing system administrators and end users to feel the unique charm of Linux systems. The Linux kernel is very important. After all, there is no kernel, just like building a castle in the air. But as Mark · Shuttleworth points out, Canonical's contribution to the community cannot be ignored. After all, Ubuntu is the most popular Linux system, expanding the user base. And Ubuntu has become the basis for other systems, such as Linux Mint, Peppermint OS and Turnkey Linux. Although Ubuntu has little contribution to the Linux kernel, it must not ignore Ubuntu's outstanding contributions in other areas.
