Which distributions of Linux are backed by a corporation?

I want to try continuing on with Linux but I want my standards to be higher now, so I am looking a distribution that is backed by a corporation.

So far I know Ubuntu is, what other Linux distributions have the monetary backing of a corporation?

Can't seem to get rid of ^M no matter what I do.

I'm feeding a .csv file through a noscript and I'm trying to replace "\^M" with "\n" because I can't get grep to work with it, nor can I get awk to successfully pull out the correct columns. For example, when greping something from what is supposed to be one line, it will instead pull out the entire thing apparently thinking its all one line.


I've tried replacing it with sed and awk, but when I feed it into a less the "\^M" is still there.


any ideas? I also don't have access to dos2linux.

[Idea] Desktop Session Denoscription Language

My idea is a syntax that could be used to describe running applications, configurations, launcher / menu and more in a way that allows for easy transfer between environments. For example, if a config file says that a text editor is open, the system would interpret it as Kate on KDE, and Gedit on Gnome. What do people think, is this something you would use?

I think I messed up

I allocated space on my HDD (my Windows is on my SDD) and I installed Ubuntu. I was waiting for it to let me choose where to install Ubuntu and I must have missed it because it installed on the SDD with no allocated space. Windows boots fine but Ubuntu just shuts off my computer when it tries to load. I can get a weird version of it to boot if I run it in recovery mode but it’s all zoomed in and weird. So my question is 1. Should I try to delete Ubuntu and reinstall? (I cant find where the space is on disk management) and if so how do I do that to reinstall on the HDD. 2. If I can’t do that then is there something I can do so Ubuntu will boot properly? Thank you for your help

Installing Linux on Nintendo Switch

I know this has been done before however I wanted to give it a shot and try using it to do some stuff I would on my main pc. Firstly if you use only open source software like I do it is quite easy to use. And it felt suprisingly fast. Most of the time I had it docked however I did mess with it undocked both were actually somewhat decent experiences. When it came to gaming I did not have trouble with emulators or open source games. Overall I enjoyed the project and think that depending on someones workflow you actually might be able to replace a low end laptop with it.

A year ago, I wanted to help with the SIP server situation. I made excellent progress, but there is still a lot to do

A year ago, I published [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/ac1551/this_year_one_of_my_goals_is_to_help_improve_the/) one of my goals for 2019. I wanted to build a modern SIP Server ready out-of-the-box, and friendlier than the current offer. I called this project Routr.

This year, I released several candidates. Also, I published the documentation and built a small community. Routr is now available in various distribution channels like [Ubuntu Snaps](https://snapcraft.io/routr-server), [Docker Hub,](https://hub.docker.com/r/fonoster/routr/) DigitalOcean, and [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/package/routr-ctl).

There is still much I want to do

In the upcoming months, I want to focus on growing the community. I also want to improve the test suite, since testing is really the most significant pain.

Additionally, there is some work to do to make Routr more extensible and modular.

Successful proprietary software on linux?

I'm getting more and more pissed at the user experience that Microsoft and Apple deliver. As developer I also have to eat however. I was wondering if there exists a successful* proprietary enduser software that was solely released on a Linux distribution?

*By successful I mean the developers were able to make a living out of selling their software solely on Linux
