That’s really a lot of money to raise for a Linux distribution. And with investors^Wpatrons such as Lütke and Dorsey, and DHH at the head it’s for sure something I wouldn‘t touch with a 10km long pole

Barely even a "distro"; it's built atop Arch.

Exactly - Ubuntu's barely a distro because it's built atop Debian. Brilliant logic.

FWIW that’s what people were saying for years, when Ubuntu was still very close to Debian. Over the years they took their own paths but for a while Ubuntu felt like a Debian with a simpler installer and some different defaults

Still built atop Debian, though.

Ubuntu was a fork of Debian that slowly gained more and more of an independent existence, but this is a collection of badly-written shell scripts that mutate an Arch install.

Do you think that all the donors in this non profit foundation are going to get a massive return upwards from their initial donation?

whats wrong with Lütke or Dorsey?

That was the recent criticism: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/shopify-ceo-endorses-idea-to-...

Thats kinda neat idea : who suggested an electoral system of "weighted voting proportional to the amount of income tax you pay,"

But i would go not for absolute amount of tax paid, but for relative tax paid with some floors and ceilings. pay effective rate of 30% (or less) income, get one vote. Pay 50% or less, get two, pay above 50% get three.

Pay less than 10% - no vote for you !!!

It’s the most obvious anti democratic idea…

meritocracy
