Ubuntu dropped the ergonomic Gnome to whip us with their own custom, unpolished Unity.

Now they're doing it all over again with Mir, while Wayland could be a Linux standard. Sounds like IE all over again.

That gives me trust issues with Canonical. More, they now leverage trademark law to forbid people from using ubuntu-? packages.

Then they pulled the Amazon search in the menu, it showed Canonical's misunderstanding of privacy issues.

Doesn't prevent from using Ubuntu, but I give 1% of my company's revenue to open-source ($800, to LE and Postgres), I don't consider Canonical as a candidate in the OSS category.



Sounds like systemd vs upstart all over again.
