I would rephrase the question.

What I would like to see in an “enterprise” Linux distro is a long support cycle. Ubuntu LTS is only 5 years, and that's way too short. RH was 10, but usually quite some time between release, so effective support window was shorter. I very much would like a distro with a much longer support lifecycle.

Sure on my development desktop I don't mind tinkering, but rebuilding a server every 3-4 years is undesirable.

If I had mod-points you would get them. Came here to write more or less the same.

As long as they aren't interested it will be ignored, as soon as they are interested they will find a way. This goes for any content.

It will only inconvenience the public not (officially) targetted by this policy.

It was fairly easy to get started with, and I now have a single codebase for an extensive internal business app used on for both Android and web.

If you are already familiar with a different framework, you might have to get used to using code for layout. Once you do get the hang of it, the layout is simple and very predictable, and "predictable" was never a state I attributed to css.

YMMV

Vaccines are not, or at least should not, be political.

A lot of misinformation about vaccines are most likely politically motivated and amplified and shared mostly by scared, uneducated people and a few who know better but think it's to their advantage.

While I agree with what Linus said, and I don't think I could have said it better, including the biology lesson, I highly doubt it will change anybody's opinion about vaccines.
The problem isn't a lack of information. It is a lack of understanding. It baffles me what ridicules easily disprovable, inconsistent drivel people believe. It's a failure in education, mostly people are taught what to think instead of how to think and how to evaluate information.
