While I see what you're saying, I've never seen a company the size of Canonical attempt to respond to every single new thing in the marketplace the way it does:
Smartphones? Ubuntu Phone. Also Ubuntu for Android
Smart TV boxes? Ubuntu TV
AWS? OpenStack
CoreOS? Ubuntu Core
DVCS? Bzr
Windows 8 Metro mode? Unity
The problem is most of these don't do their jobs well. I think they'd be much much better off focusing on one or two rather than attacking on so many fronts. I still use Ubuntu on the server but everyone I know has moved off ubuntu on desktop for OS X, mainly because of how slowly Unity has improved.
- diminish 12y agoAs a 10 year long Ubuntu user for servers, desktop, cloud etc I agree with both your comments. Ubuntu/canonical over announces and under delivers recently to the level of appearing not believable. I m still waiting for my Ubuntu phone, Ubuntu for Android etc, and had to delete my Ubuntu one. What's left unannounced? Ubuntu VR. Ubuntu watch. Ubuntu Glass. Ubuntu Play. Ubuntu Search . Ubuntu taxi? Ubuntu bnb? Ubuntu drive (again), Ubuntu Robot? Ubuntu drone? Ubuntu.js? Edit: As a power Ubuntu user, I wish Ubuntu gets more concentrated on certain products rather than lose energy on multiple fronts.
