A pity. ROS would have been a
good candidate to fulfill Ubuntu slot.
  I just stated a few examples. I highly value those
projects, however I
 just can't understand that yet another framework in python, or a game
 engine for a turnbased strategies, or a collection of FOSS software
 for Windows with a package manager (which we already have, and which
 could have been improved), or an institution which believes that AI
 takes over the world and tries to stop that are way more important
 than supporting an organization whose product would be of use for
 millions of people, and would create a real alternative operating
 system compatible with the vast majority of existing software and
 hardware.
