ubuntu phone failed
I don't know what they expected from it though

BLOAT

two distinct points
1. switch to unity
2. amazon ads

Unity > the trainwreck that is GNOME

They got a big head and went all microsoft on us, sad Ubuntu could have realy been THE GNU/Linux desktop

>tfw still using it on my nexus 7
its pretty comfy but a bit slow

You didn't wait for 18.04. These in-betweeners are always shit.

Not a Red Hat product.

Unity was one of the best DE in terms of ease of use, but in the inside it was a fucking mess too hard to maintain.
Now Canonical is starting again by adding extensions to a GNOME base.

You're assuming I said that as a positive thing.

Red Hat's tentacles are in every orifice of Linux these days, and what isn't related to Red Hat is degrading as such a rate I almost suspect foul play.

>Gnome base
Unity was literally a modified gnome.

Remember netbooks? Remember when Unity was Netbook Edition?
Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Nu-buntu is the reason why I am seriously considering Arch as my main distro.

It is not Debian.

Linux Community is toxic shit and Mark got fed up and fired all the Unity team.

Unity 8 based Qt was going to be god tier, finally a Linux Desktop that could rival Windows and OS X

They stopped being based by not sending out free dvds to install. FUCK YOU CANICALL

This.

They ditched unity. That's what went wrong.

why is gnome a trainwreck? genuinely asking

They didn't finish the Unity 8 Qt port.

SystemD is Red Hat.

They are going broke because they quite literally spent all of their money on feminist initiatives, that should give you a sense on the quality of their software.

It is though lmao

KDE piss on Unity at any pixel.

Gnome2 is better that Gnome3 also.

I have the feeling that everything Gnome is kinda shit.

I expect KDE to get a real competitor, else there is no match for it.

Solus with Budgie if they continue to improve it can be a challange for KDE.

Became too user friendly and now normies are using it.

Unity was fine but they decided to make the unnecessary switch to GNOME

I'll let you know once I talk all the most prominent buttons and features in the app windows down from the ledge

she should be fucking raped. Who the fuck allows these cunts to open their mouths for something other than sucking dick?

Ditching Unity. At that point, they full bent the knee to red hat.

I kind of wish that Canonical didn't decide to tie Unity to the Ubuntu Distribution so much and make it almost impossible to install on other distros. Then maybe more developers would have been willing to work on a fork of it.

cuckhat shills

I don't get that they stop with Unity, they must have spend tons of money and time in it. It worked, why did they switch to GNOME?

Because it's developed like shit and can't be maintained.

Canonical tried to upstream the GTK patches but the Gnome devs refused them.

>mfw I feel that edge

This shit color

Because other desktop environments beat it. Cinnamon, KDE and XFCE outclass the foot and unity in every possible way.

am i the only one who finds gnome comfy? ubuntu's modifications to the dock is great for productivity.

this

unity was impressively resource intensive with no payoff.

Just use Mint

Gnome at least works properly on a touchscreen out of the box, which is pretty ironic considering that Unity was designed with convergence devices in mind.

Gnome. Every Ubuntu release has been about discovering what functionality those assholes took out. This is why there is Mint, MATE, and a fork of every other older gnome application.

I wish the Linux devs will just get a clue, that people want stability and simplicity over "modern" UIs.

KDE should have stuck with KDE 3.5 as well.

Canonical failed at politics, especially with Mir.

It was so close to BTFOing Gnome forvever.

literally nothing
isn't there some community repo out there that's still maintaining it?

Last time I used Ubuntu installing shit without an account through the software center was awkward as fuck. I remember it also crashed. While I only used the regular interface.

So I just ditched it again.

I have it on my work computer and agree that it is comfy. If I had a shitty computer like most of the NEETs of Sup Forums I would probably hate it too.

They leveled up

This basically. Putting adware in your free operating system is the dumbest shit you could do.

Sadly Gnome went to shit after the switch anyway. New gnome is just as bad or worse than unity.

Could you remind me why I shouldn't just bend over and accept micro soft like a bitch?
