Well, it might come as a surprise to some, but actually Ubuntu is not
just a bunch of imbiciles, and it kinda annoys me that whenever
something comes from or is done in Ubuntu, people saya: "well, if Ubuntu
does it, then it is questionnable because they don't know what they do
and their distro is only used by noobs".

Well, that's simply bullshit. 

It is a good idea, and taking inspiration from their work and working
towards minimizing the differences between the distros even if that
means we make a step in their direction, is nothing like jumping from a
bridge, taking drugs, or convincing your kids about that.
