Future

[j2ld]

As i know linux has many variant just like mint, what if someday linux can be enemy to other linux variant. if truly can be enemy who the person must be responsible. sorry this is just my opinion.

It's not very clear what you mean.

Either your meaning is unclear or you don't know enough about Linux. But from what I understand from your post it makes no sence. All distrobutions are technically Linux, what makes them different are the differnt GUI's and DE's and how they use their package managment. Linux (the kernel) is technically the operating system like windows has its own kernel, and each branch from Linux is the same differneces between windows7, windows nt, windows xp etc.

that's right steveking, anyway linux or another os i think is very solid for the future.. right.

The OP means, Can distro's be each other enemy?

This makes me think of Mandrake/Mageia.

I think it is rather the wish of corporations to make profits with Linux that is the enemy of a distribution. The Mandrake devs didn't like where Mandrake was going, so they started a new distro, Mageia. I wonder if all such distributions have a future.
Or I think of OpenOffice/LibreOffice, where the LibreOffice devs didn't trust Oracle and so they started their own OpenOffice version.
Or think back of Caldera, who ruined their own Linux distro.

Since the Linux developers are not into Linux for the money, I don't think that distro's are each other enemy. Canonical, for example, could see Mint as Ubuntu's enemy, I could imagine, but what could Canonical do? Nothing

I do seem to notice some "animosity" between various distro users. I wonder why, since all distro's are "related".
