Sure, it's a bummer to see potentially cool stuff get canceled. But Ubuntu was all about innovation from the start. I wouldn't mind seeing twice as many canceled projects, because it's a sign that you're willing to put yourself out there and fail often. Innovation has a cost, and if part of that cost is "we can't support netbooks but other distros will, heck you can even use Xubuntu if you want" that's fine with me.
- thefifthsetpin 8y ago> Ubuntu was all about innovation from the start I thought it was about making a distro that was approachable and accessible? Source: vaguely remembered "What does ubuntu mean?" promo videos from many years ago.
- themodelplumber 8y agoYes, and at the time that was a huge innovation. Don't ask a neckbeard, but it was a huge innovation.
- mixmastamyk 8y agoThat would be fine if they were choices on the side, but most of these were foisted on users as the default choice, only to be canceled later. Making the whole exercise a complete waste of time rather than an interesting experiment. For example, they could have instead contributed to MATE for the last decade, and it might finally be as good as Windows 2000.
