Remember how much hate he got for Unity before /g/ was given their current bogeyman of SystemD? Good times.

The hate on Unity was the most pathetic thing from GNU/Linux community I saw.

It's literally hating on the very same freedom we advocate with Free Software.

>>55966134
Give it a few years and you'll say the same about poettering and SystemD. /g/ dislikes anything that challenges the status quo to the point where they fabricate tons of bullshit to make their viewpoint sound more legitimate.

Online searches in dash was a mistake.

Unity is also impossible to use anywhere outside ubuntu without patching a hell of dependencies in the distro, so this freedom is a bit ilusory.

Nothing stopping you from forking it and rewriting the bits dependent on Ubuntu as a distro.

Ok. You patch gtk3 gtk3-ubuntu-0.23.4.whatever and break the other 1292 programs depending on gtk3 just to use a DE. Oh, now it depends on Mir and snapd too... shit. This hate to unity is so unfair and irrational...

because leeching of debian and applying broken patches is that much of an accomplishment
