Quote:
In an extraordinary blog post that I have yet to fully digest, Mark Shuttleworth has announced that Canonical is to end its investment in Unity 8, Mir, Ubuntu for phones and tablets, and will no longer pursue its goal of “convergence”.

‘we will end our investment in Unity 8, the phone and convergence shell’

In a further striking admission Ubuntu’s founder adds that the Ubuntu desktop will ‘shift back to GNOME for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.’

“We will continue to produce the most usable open source desktop in the world, to maintain the existing LTS releases, to work with our commercial partners to distribute that desktop, to support our corporate customers who rely on it, and to delight the millions of IoT and cloud developers who innovate on top of it,” he says.


FINALLY!!!

Finally. You fucking idiots ... installed that Unity shit in a VM and kept throwing up in my mouth.

And fuck your convergence, desktops and mobiles are so different that you should be striving for divergence and specialisation you mongs. Why would I want my desktop to feel like my phone?
