    • Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu, stating “Linux Mint stands on the shoulder of giants, it is based on Debian and Ubuntu.” on their homepage
    • Pop!OS is owned by System76 which is a business

    • Manjaro is owned by Manjaro GmbH & Co. KG to “… to effectively engage in commercial agreements, form partnerships, and offer professional services”.

    You can dislike Canonical for whatever reasons, I would like to hear them. Saying “They are a business” is a bit disingenuous since all these distros have a business backing them and commerical interests in mind.
