Unity 8
Unity 8
You may have heard Canonical is dropping Unity, convergence and mobile platforms to focus on IoT and their enterprise areas. Someone has forked Unity 8 https://unity8.org/ and https://unity.ubports.com/ I'm rather skeptical it will continue on mobile and the question everyone is asking is Mir dead? yes https://arstechnica.com/information-tech...next-year/ So that is a lot of work for a new fork
Switching to Gnome 3 made sense because Ubuntu previously ran Gnome 2 and Unity used GTK, though they still wish they had chosen a Qt-based desktop environment.
Following the Debian standard will save them significant resources. It's a disappointment they abandoned convergence; I was excited about getting a FariPhone with Ubuntu, but now it must be Android. Consider removing the Ubuntu SDK via sudo apt and try an alternative.
