While I still remember the times when Ubuntu was marketing itself as "Linux for human beings", I too see nowadays a pattern of people trying to identify Ubuntu as something different from a Linux distribution.

Take for example this (random, not representing Canonical nor Ubuntu afaik) guy:

"Ignore for a minute that Ubuntu is not "linux", any more than your friend's Toyota Camry is a 2AZ-FE."

for a short time there was a growing trend in midset that Ubuntu == Linux. That would be a bad thing (just as bad as the prior trend that Red Hat == Linux). Nowdays I don't see any $distro == Linux mindset, and I think that's a good thing.
