  Dang or other moderator, could we merge this with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14043631 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14043631 please? It was submitted earlier and points to the source.

    Thanks! We've moved most of the comments there.

      I don't care whether you move comments about, but if this story ("Ubuntu to Abandon Unity 8, Switch Back to Gnome") had been marked as a dupe a little earlier, then I would probably have passed over a story titled "Growing Ubuntu for Cloud and IoT, Rather Than Phone and Convergence" even though I consider Ubuntu's abandonment of Unity to be big news.

  A wise and decisive decision. Unity did not revolutionize Linux desktop usability, and the phone business was never within reach. Stop trying to make happen what you can't make happen.
