Press S to spit on grave.
Sauce or GTFO
This might be one of the best things to happen to Ubuntu in years

This is actually great news. I liked unity 8, but it was basically a more gnomeified unity. Now Canonical and RH will be contributing to one desktop.
This is awesome.
thank fucking god
unity niggered ubuntu for me
VICTORIOUS
>implying Unity wasn't already GNOME3 with extensions

I hope systemd is next on the chopping block. I might go back to GNU + Linux.

Shame that this news comes almost immediately after I try the "move the launcher to the bottom" thing and find out I like Unity a lot better this way.
Nice
Wayland, here we go
Wasn't Unity supposed to be switching over to superior Qt?
