webOS is based on Linux, only tailored beautifully for a finger/touch based interface, so why bother replacing it with a variant of Linux that is not?

- jonknee 15y agoI'd assume because webOS will not be receiving updates.
- drgath 15y agoYes, it is. Heck, a new version of webOS was pushed out yesterday.
- mikeash 15y agoAn update pushed out yesterday was prepared entirely before HP made their big announcement, though. Will there be any WebOS updates for the TouchPad now that HP has discontinued it and is exiting that space entirely? Seems highly doubtful.
- lukifer 15y agoHuh? I just looked, and I dont see any updates since I bought it three days ago.
- mise 15y agoThat's it, Ubuntu Unity is not optimised for touch. WebOS is fundamentally for touch.
