- akerl_ 13y agoAre we really going to fault Canonical for developing new open source projects, or for those projects not being adopted outside of Ubuntu? I don't have a need for another file manager any more than I needed another init system, but if this was being done by anybody besides Canonical, the comments would say ~"So stoked to see a new option disrupting the file manager space". They're betting they can provide a better UX with their own tool. If they fail, or can't maintain it, or whatever, then that's on them, and people will shift onto other distros. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do better, in the hopes that other projects can benefit as well.
- hdevalence 13y agoIf Canonical wants to develop a new file manager, power to them! I, too, am looking forward to seeing what they do better. My comment was specifically in regards to the idea of 'what's wrong with Canonical reinventing everything', e.g., discarding Wayland for Mir. Sorry if that was unclear.
