    Is Mint planning the same? I know they have their debian edition, but don’t remember of it was meant to become the main edition at some point.

      It won’t happen any time soon unless Ubuntu does something drastic. I do think it would be a good idea for them to move in that direction, though.

        It does make sense, though i think you’re right, and they won’t unless Ubuntu does something to force them. Ubuntu has lost so much good grace from the community. I remember the times it was basically the go to distro, and now a lot of comments are recommending not giving it a try.

      I think it’s just a proof of concept in case they feel the need to switch the base. I didn’t head anything indicating that’s the case already

        Probably. It is good as a backup though, they have options this way, if they decide Ubuntu isn’t a suitable base anymore, they already have things in motion.
