[17:40] <arraybolt3> I wonder what the Linux world would have looked like if Canonical had ignored the push against them and forged ahead with their intended original path. Unity, Mir, Snap, a store with paid apps and free apps, etc. Part of me thinks the Linux desktop would have really gotten ahead if that had happened. It seems like the desktop is secondary to... everyone, really. Even Microsoft no longer has
[17:40] <arraybolt3> the desktop at the forefront of their efforts.
[19:14] <JanC> I doubt it
