- Mikeb85 5y agoNah Ubuntu got rid of the Amazon link and app, I think they're doing well in the enterprise space these days so there's no fuckery on the desktop (although that means they've also given up on stuff like phones).
- runjake 5y agoI fully expect Microsoft to eventually acquire Canonical, and if you pay attention to behind-the-scenes interactions between the two, it seems very likely.
- tata71 5y agoLink or two to get me started?
- runjake 5y agoI don't want to generate unwanted interest or drama for specific people by pasting links to mailing lists. You can Google for "microsoft (buy|acquire) canonical" and find points on why it's very likely.
- izolate 5y agoI suspect something similar. They have a good partnership. While we're dreaming, I'd love to see a version of Windows with a Linux kernel. They could do what they did with Edge, replace the core with something better.
- pests 5y agoEh, word on the street NT is expertly engineered. It's all the compatibility layers and crud that gives Windows it's bad name.
- lnxg33k1 5y agoAs the other replies, I also agree with you, I've been a bit upset by Canonical for their support to Microsoft in making WSL, I'm not sure Linux has anything to gain from the thing, if not a bad advertising due to the suboptimal experience, but also it is a Linux system that has to exist under the government of microsoft which is a bit scary for me, but yeah I agree with you, I also see them working together for WSL, and at some point I see M$ buying Canonical
