I second that. I would love to see a version of authors desktop built with Ubuntu Core instead.

Why that attitude? Someone sets up her machine to her (very odd) liking, what is wrong with that? If you don't want to go that route there is always Ubuntu & co that "just work"... edit: Jess, sorry for calling you a guy.

I don't understand what these protests hope to achieve. Having said that, you are questioning things that have been public knowledge for a while.

From what I read you have some very specific needs and for various reasons also have decided to use tools/languages every one here advices against. This is all fine, but your first post make it sounds like UWP in general is crap, whi

It is significantly better than cygwin, but of course it doesn't beat real Linux.

There are today legal border controls from Mediterranean all the way up to the Scandinavia. Blaming EU for your own officials incompetency is soooo uk-2016

> All the non euro countries are working to be admitted Now you are just making things up. Edit: then you should rethink using Wikipedia as your source because that is not accurate. EU cannot force countries to join new treaties this way

I have no idea what your problems are, but I code UWP in C# which is the preferred language and its all fine and dandy here. (c++ .net is not real c++ anyway)

Nope, EU countries have always had the possibility of border control (with some limitations). Its just that not having border control is cheaper and allowing people work across birders is good for the economy. So basically until late 2016 t

So you agree that it is by no means mandatory? Also, Denmark?

Oh yes, the "EU, give us back control of our borders" rhetoric. Your CAN have border control right now, in fact many northern European countries have border control among themselves today.

Not difficult at all, many EU countries have decided to stay outside the euro zone. They are doing just fine.

EU in its simplest form is harmonization of rules and a bigger market for you to sell your goods. That part works exceptionally well. I don't see a single reason where that could be a negative in a mid to long term. The euro zone, wh

This is an open source and community driven project. It is your job/responsibility to improve things and try to submit them upstream and convince people that your solution is better than the existing one.

Yes, 2837 is a 1995 soc design with a 64-bit quadcore forced into it. Their multicore support was probably thrown together in an afternoon by a junior asic designer on a hangover. But some of the issues could have been worked around with be

Ubuntu Mobile may be a work in progress, but it still works far better than the ZeroPhone. It also look much better :)

You can also buy an old Nexus and put Ubuntu on it...

That's a pretty bad analogy :( A better analogy would be that your Apple toaster only works with Apple power outlets and only accepts bread made or approved by Apple.

This is ridiculous!! There is no problem with limiting software distribution channels for your own hardware in order to have a meaningful quality assurance. What the DoJ should instead focus on is the crazy rules apple imposes in order to l

Counterpoint: The pi runs Linux inefficiently, draws too much power and gets too hot. All of these could probably have been fixed with minimal support from broadcom (and a bit more open thinking from them during the design). Open source is

Not sure why this is downvoted. The OPi chip maybe for not cone from a "respected" western company but it is in all regards a more open chip. While the datasheet is almost as thin as that of Broadcom it is mostly because they use
