Michael BrazdaI keep hearing everyone freak out over Ubuntu killing Unity and not focusing on Desktop anymore. My question is now that another main Distro now is running gnome and the death of Unity might help Gnome. Linux Desktop is not dead but now that will push more dev on one GUI. Hopefully that will make Gnome much better. What do you think?
Vassilis Palassopoulos@omnipotens Canonical switching to GNOME is one of the best news I've heard in the last 5+ years when it comes to desktop linux. The other would be Steam for linux.
Personally I always found the development of Unity being slow and the technical decisions being ill-informed (Mir, multiple rewrites of Unity).
Now they can focus on what they do best.
Desktop Ubuntu will turn more cost-effective while delivering better quality.
P.S.: I'm using arch with KDE
