It's not that I'm a great fan of the #GObject type system and its way to build object-oriented code in C. I know some of the maintainers aren't as well, which I don't consider a surprise given the age and origin of that GObject ecosystem. So I absolutely understand #Canonical considered switching to #Qt for #Unity8, now #Lomiri.

But that's only one part of the story. The other part is I'm now using #GTK based desktop environments almost full time (only some occasions I turn on my old Mac).

Oh, #Ubuntu 17.04 and #Unity… how I miss you dearly.

(Yes I downloaded the 17.04 ISO and put it on a USB stick just to revisit it one more time.)

Por mais que tenha a questão dos Snaps que alguns não curtem, o Ubuntu ainda é o carro chefe pra muitos que querem uma distro Linux robusta e estável. Mas será que a versão com Gnome é a melhor opção do Ubuntu? E se eu te falar que o Unity 8 não morreu? Pois então dá uma conferida nesse vídeo que você vai entender melhor!

MELHOR Ubuntu 24.10 seria com Unity? Unity 8 ainda VIVE 🤯

Years ago, I remember #Ubuntu demonstrating 'reactive' desktop UIs. #convergance I think it was for #Unity8 (or was it Ubuntu Touch). The main point was that as you resized the window, the interface updated to 'best' fit the available space.

As I snap thunderbird's calendar to half my screen and an email with calendar dates to the other half, I start to think Ubuntu were on to something there...

Ein Glück, dass Unity8/UnityX jetzt endlich in Lomiri umbenannt wurde. Jetzt kann ich endlich in Onlineuchmaschinen "how to run Lomiri on PopOS" eingeben, ohne, dass mir Gameengine Lösungen angezeigt werden.

Slowly making progress on getting the #Lomiri Operating Environment (formerly know as #Unity8) into #Debian: https://sunweavers.net/blog/node/131

Lomiri: New Name, Same Great Unity8

It is not bad if sometimes we combine the idea of unity with KDE and create a modern atmosphere of unity.
I created the environment that was in my mind.

I customized the Carl theme so this is a custom plasma style Carl theme.

Ubuntu Touch OTA-13 kommt diese Woche

Ferdinand Thommes
Am Freitag, dem 4. September wollen die Entwickler von UBports OTA-13 freigeben, eine neue Version von Ubuntu Touch für Linux-Smartphones und Tablets. Während der Vorgänger OTA-12 den lange vorbereiteten Umstieg auf Unity 8, das jetzt Lomiri heißt, abschloss, sollte OTA-13 ein eher kleines Release werden, das liegengebliebene Funktionen aus der Entwicklungsphase zu OTA-12 nachreicht. Nach Aussage der Entwickler auf der Webseite wurde OTA-13 am Ende dann doch größer als geplant. https://loma.ml/display/373ebf56-545f-4f79-203e-0d3493768303
