    Re: End of Ubuntu Phone and Unity

    Yeah, I don't think I've written or speculated, anywhere in this thread, that they intend to drop the desktop. Just to be clear (though that is what the linked article suggests.) What I personally am...

    Re: End of Ubuntu Phone and Unity

    Thanks for the link. I'll be interested to see what Canonical comes up with in 18.04. And I'll be interested to see if Gnome's willingness to listen to and/or collaborate with Shuttleworth has...

    Bringing this conversation back on topic. Is there really any fiscal incentive for Canonical to invest in the linux desktop? Maybe there is, but I don't know. Along with others, I...

    Yeah, like, as long as you completely ignore everything Shuttleworth said about Mobile, Unity, Convergence, blahbity-blah-blah, for the last how many years? And people are shocked!!! Just shocked(!),...

    Well, okay, if you want to play that game. Your entire response was a classic example of the red herring fallacy:

    Re: End of Ubuntu Phone and Unity

    It's irrelevant whether the deduction is hasty. Calling it that is simply your own bias. What the comment confirms is that I'm not the only one making the deduction. A better response, on your part,...

    Yeah, I know. I read that original announcement too, and that's why I say I'm reading between the lines. I think of it this way: You would expect him, in his original, carefully crafted announcement,...

    Gnome Shell was well on its way. Shuttleworth/Canonical wanted to have/offered input on its development and design (presumably because they were thinking about convergence) and Gnome devs had zero...

    When Canonical originally switched to Unity part of the reason, I recall, was that Gnome developers weren't remotely interested in Canonical's opinions concerning Gnome Shell, or anyone else's for...

    Does this also spell the end of MIR?

    Mixed emotions about this. Never liked Unity. Never used it. Was nevertheless looking forward to the first Ubuntu phone and tablet. Admire Shuttleworth for his...

    Re: Ubuntu 17.04

    Well, I don't want to get too far into it because ragging on 16.04 isn't the point of my post (and I'm not looking for support), but I'll be brief and leave it at that:

    Ubuntu 17.04

    My apologies if this thread is already out there.

    I've had nothing but troubles with any Ubuntu Distro based on 16.04. I'm thinking of trying out 17.04, returning to Unity, and am wondering if...

    Re: System 76... Good or Bad?

    My experience hasn't been so great. Compared to current laptops made by Dell, HP or Lenovo, System 76's laptops feel outdated and clunky. Within a couple months of buying my Kudu Pro, I noticed a...

    Update: Definitely hardware. Left it on System Bios and the behavior was the same. Deciding whether it's worth repairing or selling.

    So, that about describes it. I've tested this with two distros, both based on 16.04, and the same occurs. The laptop will abruptly hard reboot with zero warning.

    Thanks for this and all your replies. These give me some avenues to explore.

    Right, but doesn't one have to pay a sizable premium without a contract? We don't even have cell phone connectivity in most of Vermont.

    Smart Phone without the Phone?

    So my daughter wants all the goodies of a smart phone without the phone (for Christmas). The only thing I can think of is an Ipod Touch, but do these even have cameras?
