This is totally right, but people with money like to point fingers and blame others. Ultimately paying for support is PR insurance.

I was talking about how the corrupt corporations are literally the reason we can’t have nice things. We are on the same side here. I’m just trying to express that “financial interest” is only of interest to capitalists so they can continue to profit from the efforts of common peoples. The point was to shift the discussion from trying to interest someone financially to fostering an environment in which social interest can actually cause movement and development.

The problem I am alluding to is the way that “financial interests” means somebody reaping the value from others’ labor. There is more than enough talent, interest and time available to develop robust solutions to hardware enablement if we stop feeding the machine what it consumes today. There is simply no reason that a manufacturer shouldn’t be producing hardware with open specifications to a global market that consumes its product. Additionally there is more than enough revenue that goes to paying people that contribute less than they produce for the hardware purchased by consumers. We fix this by making it illegal to create walled gardens that make us beholden to vendors.

Maybe the problem is that there shouldn’t be a financial interest in order to motivate or enable support.

Edit: for clarity, my comment is mostly directed at ublue or universal blue, which is what bluefin is based on.

I think the really value comes from the ability to easily roll new custom images and for the community to collaborate on those images to produce images that require minimal layering after the application locally.

You got any more information on this? Also, is there a point to caring if it is an intellectual property rip off and run by a particularly set of people from a particular country?

Just to be sure, you are getting your vanilla iso from MS?

It has been a while since I’ve grabbed a recent iso, but I’ve always used these with no issue in virt-manager.

Does anything else work? For example, can you boot a Debian live disk? What about a Debian install on a VM? This will help isolate the problem to internal or external of the hypervisor.

The problems you describe are due to capitalism: profit motivated commerce. The open source business model has a focus that monetizes the human actions that are a value-add, such as continued development of targeted features, tech support and other things it makes sense to pay for specialized knowledge, but the tangibles are still open for all to modify, audit or use as they want.
