What would an ENSH*TTIFIED Linux distro look like? [video]
Just for fun, I decided to try and imagine what a Linux distro would look like if it got hit by the enshittification stick that seems to affect every digital product of service these days. 👏 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: Get access to: a Daily Linux News show, a weekly patroncast for more personal thoughts,...

I know this is a joke but "Enshittification" requires there to be a monopoly that abuses commercial customers along with users. Linux distros can't really have monopolies since the switching costs are so low.
Except if you are locked out of system management and you just can't switch. Or only at the price of hardware incompatibilities and consumer apps refusing to work when they see you after practicing your ownership of the device.
See Android.The video actually addresses that by mentioning a company coming in nice at first and then doing EEE to kill off ll competition and leave them the only significant player in the space
What about a distro that artificially raises the switching cost?

Real question, how difficult is moving from Red Hat to SUSE?
How hard is it for you to install a different distro? That's how hard.
it can happen if you have some form vendor lockin, or if you are an oligarch in a cartel. it doesnt need a monopoly strictly speaking.
Not really. On Lemmy, it seems to just refer to anything these days
And that includes theoretical predictions for things that never happened yet
