Canonical is dying.

Huge cuts plus idiot is back at the helm == doom and gloom for Ubuntu.
What distro do we now switch to?
Ubuntu was at its best when it was a smaller team and Mark was in charge.
It was only in 2010 when he let some vagina start ruling the place that unity, mir, etc turned to crap and everything went downhill year after year.
Ubuntu is about to become greater than ever, again.
>Canonical is dying.
It isn't. It's just getting rid of unprofitable desktop shit.

Sure hope you don't like screen real estate
Ubuntu has over 700 employees. Firing 80 doesn't mean shit to the bigger picture.

It does when you fire all the UI people.

Canonical finally learned desktop Linux is infested by turbo autismo freetards and it's pulling out.
>>59862036
who cares
all linux distros are exactly the same, they should just agree on one so that people don't have to worry about which one to choose
>>59862430
>drops unity
>somehow still needs to employ everyone working on it
Now I know you're a fucking retard.
>>59862527
Ubuntu desktop users never asked for ubuntu phones, tablets, mir, unity. Turbo autismo or not, nobody wanted those. Good thing canonical finally came to its senses.
Why not switch to FreeBSD?
>What is FreeBSD?
FreeBSD is an advanced computer operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.

Indeed, and it actually turned "us" away from the distro. I liked Ubuntu best between 8.04 and 10.04, and switched sometime before 11.04. This was the exact time they changed the colour scheme from orange/brown to orange/purple and introduced Unity.
All I ever liked about Ubuntu was the relatively clean Gnome 2 interface and the easy installation. That's it. Maybe it was still easy to install, but the interface began to look like shit. So I went to Fedora, which had a sensible colour scheme and the very interesting Gnome 3, although it wasn't spectacular of course. But it worked, and it worked well even in the first versions. Couldn't say that about Ubuntu and their interface anymore

FreeBSD codebase is a piece of shit. Literally 57 security vulnerabilities found in one single unfinished formal review. Look it up: PVS and FreeBSD
