Should "There is more to Linux than Ubuntu.." be "Is there more to Linux than Ubuntu.."
I've been blogging a lot more about Linux recently, and there is a reason for that. I have a strong belief that the rise of Ubuntu has killed the Linux desktop. There appears to be a severe lack of innovation out there in Linux desktop land with Ubuntu Spin Offs being all over the place. Ubuntu in a shiny new jacket is still Debian..
Who is going to step up to the mark from one of the other Distros and give ubuntu a run for its money? Or am i right, and Ubuntu has the desktop pwnd now.. And Unity will become the Desktop wars Winner?
Is this what the Linux Desktop market has boiled down to a commercial distro link Canonicals Ubuntu has triumphed over years of community blood sweat and toil?

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |

Feedback..
Don't just read this.. tell me why i'm wrong, give me real world examples of a Community driven distro which is doing all it can to innovate and provide the Linux community with a real world Linux desktop which can be used as an Ubuntu free alternative..
Or do we need one? should Fedora, Suse and Sabayon all pack up now? Should debian call it a day, let canonical swallow them up and We all back Ubuntu against Windows 8 and OSX ?
Is there more to the desktop linux world than this? Do we need niche players?
