fx-but that was quite some time ago20:11
fx-any hope yet ?20:11
sebsebsebfx-: uhmm its dead didn't you see the news?20:14
fx-no, wsp ?20:14
sebsebsebfx-: however ubports is forking ubuntu touch,  and yunit is doing unity 8 for desktop20:14
sebsebsebcommunity works20:14
sebsebsebwhat's w sp ?20:14
fx-havemt heard the news20:15
* sebsebseb hopes some of the people in this channel, will get invovled with the community forks !20:15
sebsebsebfx-: wow you must be so out of Linux news, it was all over the place this april20:15
sebsebsebMark Shuttleworth decided to drop Ubuntu touch, and both versions of Unity20:16
fx-auch20:16
sebsebsebUbuntu 17.10 wil use GNOME 3 shell by default20:16
sebsebseband future veresions so ubuntu 18.04 etc20:16
fx-well, gnome looks interesting, but isnt for me tho20:16
sebsebsebfx-: however ther eare community developers who want to continue ubuntu touch that's one group, ub ports20:16
sebsebseband then theres also another group who want to contine unity 8 for normal computers, yunit20:17
sebsebsebfx-: I do like GNOME 3 Shell, but it got a bit boring a few years back really since constant use, but I do like it20:17
sebsebsebjust been playing around with extensions for it actusally20:17
sebsebsebthat can improve it20:17
fx-im all about clean desktop and as few background abnormalities as possible20:19
fx-gnome seems to be bloated20:19
fx-just my opinion20:19
sebsebsebfx-:  you men not so much by default ?20:19
sebsebsebyep unity was good for enough tehre, but not that much20:19
sebsebsebnd not classic look20:19
sebsebsebfx-: gnome 3 is modern20:20
sebsebsebfx-: but also a bit old now, since it was started in like 201120:20
sebsebsebbut a modern interface yes20:21
=== ReimuHakurei_ is now known as ReimuHakurei
fx-yeah.. looks interesting20:21
sebsebsebit is good to use20:21
sebsebsebbut I like unity now a lot as well so hmm and that's both versions 7 and 820:21
sebsebsebfx-: I have three ubuntu devices20:21
sebsebsebwell my tablet is broken really now!20:21
fx-couldnt keep up with u ?20:22
fx-tablet, that is20:22
fx-;)20:22
sebsebsebfx-: I have three Ubuntu devices, but my tablet went away for repair with osmeone I know, but now its more broken really !20:22
sebsebsebfx-: certain hardware components all joined together so,  not so simple to just replace the faulty part20:23
sebsebsebthe cracked part20:23
fx-right20:23
sebsebsebin hind sight I may have not given to him like that, it was't major cracks20:23
sebsebsebfx-: but yes bq 4.5 ubuntu phone and mx 4, you see why I like unity 8 now20:24
sebsebsebthe desktop previews were well just previewers but intersting to in the desktop.  and been using unith 7 more on computer last two years to20:24
sebsebsebfx-: anyway this stuff is open source, it will carry on under the community, but I don't think a fork of Ubuntu touch, will ever hit the main streame now or get anywehre close.  Canonical at leawst had a chance at gettung more hardware deals, or so people thought20:25
fx-hmom20:25
fx-i wonder why it all went under-the-carpet20:26
fx-seemed to be doing fine20:26
