| floridagram | <ahoneybun> you know OMGUbuntu is click bait | 18:38 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> @ahoneybun, I cannot deny that but the content in this case is completely true | 18:39 |
| floridagram | <ahoneybun> it's bullshit | 18:39 |
| floridagram | <ahoneybun> well just dumping Unity8 | 18:39 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> https://insights.ubuntu.com/2017/04/05/growing-ubuntu-for-cloud-and-iot-rather-than-phone-and-convergence/ | 18:39 |
| floridagram | <ahoneybun> all that work with Qt | 18:39 |
| floridagram | <ahoneybun> I saw that | 18:39 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> They are not dumping Unity, just changing focus | 18:40 |
| floridagram | <ahoneybun> well switching from Unity to GShell kinda reads that way | 18:40 |
| floridagram | <ahoneybun> @KMyers biggest question is does that make Ubuntu GNOME useless | 18:42 |
| floridagram | <ahoneybun> at least 18.04 | 18:42 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> It does, unless Ubuntu proper will use a customized build of Gnome, and Ubuntu Gnome will use a pure build | 18:42 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> I am not sure | 18:42 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> @mhall119 - ping | 18:43 |
| floridagram | <mhall119> pong | 18:43 |
| floridagram | <ahoneybun> well I wonder if they will ship a pure Natuius | 18:43 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> Do you know anything more about this? | 18:43 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> (Late April Fools Day joke perhaps) | 18:43 |
| floridagram | <mhall119> not really, I was only told about it today | 18:43 |
| floridagram | <mhall119> no joke I'm afraid :( | 18:43 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> I personally like Gnome and use Gnome but this is a pretty insane change | 18:44 |
| floridagram | <mhall119> I don't think there's been a decision yet (or even much discussion yet) about whether 18.04 will ship "Vanilla" GNOME, or "Ubuntu-ized" GNOME | 18:44 |
| floridagram | <ahoneybun> I hope they keep the forked Nautilus | 18:48 |
| floridagram | <ahoneybun> as it keeps good features | 18:49 |
| floridagram | <ahoneybun> that the developers for some crazy reason removed | 18:49 |
| floridagram | <Ivoriesablaze> I like gnome... It makes my lawn pretty | 18:52 |
| floridagram | <Ivoriesablaze> And I don't think it's unfortunate one bit, gnome seems more comfortable to me | 18:53 |
| floridagram | <govatent> All the fighting I did for unity | 18:58 |
| maxolasersquad | I'm a pretty big fan of Unity, and have advocated for it, but at the end of the day my DE isn't very important to me. | 19:16 |
| maxolasersquad | Gnome is a solid DE and probably won't much notice the difference. | 19:16 |
| maxolasersquad | I remember that the 12.04 developer summit when this initiative was anounced it seemed like we'd have all this by 14.04. Here we are at 17.04 and still nothing production ready. | 19:17 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> Wow. Gnome. Why? | 19:46 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> Didn't see that coming. | 19:47 |
| maxolasersquad | Ubuntu has always been Gnome-based. Unity uses all of Gnome's underpinnings, or forks of the Gnome underpinnings. | 19:52 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> You're right, but what roadblock did they hit to dump Ubuntu's staple DE and decide to rep the Gnome? | 19:56 |
| maxolasersquad | The Unity desktop, at this point is iconic. Every time it's used it immediately signals that Ubuntu is being used. I'm sad to see it go. | 19:58 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> I can't load up the blog post atm | 19:59 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> So Mir, convergence and mobile are out the window I guess? | 19:59 |
| floridagram | <ahoneybun> well Mir is dead | 19:59 |
| floridagram | <KMyers> No | 19:59 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> When did Mir die? I feel like I missed something. :O | 20:00 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> But I've been living under a rock so maybe I have. lol | 20:00 |
| floridagram | <ahoneybun> well I hear it is dead | 20:02 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> Gnome is plenty good. Just surprising to hear. | 20:05 |
| floridagram | <Abrerr> Looking forward to the next LTS. | 20:05 |
| floridagram | <SivaMachina> Also if someone could make an extension of the title bar integration with the top panel for Gnome 3 would be nice. | 21:56 |
