Ubuntu Will Soon Ship On 5% of New PCs

Posted by Unknown on from the and-they-say-gnu-on-the-desktop-will-never-happen dept.

An anonymous reader writes with an excerpt from Phoronix: "Chris Kenyon, the VP of sales and business development for Canonical, just spoke this afternoon at the Ubuntu 12.10 Developer Summit about what Canonical does with OEMs and ODMs. He also tossed out some rather interesting numbers about the adoption of Ubuntu Linux. Namely, Ubuntu will ship on 5% of worldwide PC sales with a number of 18 million units annually."

      I can't even believe it.
      Such a thing exists?
      No.
      Such a thing can't exist.
      It's not possible.
      It simply cannot be probable.
      It cannot be probable that such a thing exists.
      Such a thing!
      No.
      They don't exist.

      Disappear. This Gamemakerlessness. 'This Gamemakerlessness.' "This Gamemakerlessness." This Gamemakerlessness. This Gamemakerlessness. This Gamemakerlessness. This Gamemakerlessness.

      Does anyone understand this? I've been gone from /. for about a week and I am very confused as to what these posts mean. Is this some strange meme I missed?

      too bad no one gave you a straight razor to chew on as a toddler. For those who don't know,it is an atrocious game development system for a single vendor's platform only that panders to morons such as the parent poster.

      You're not a True Programmer like I am! You don't understand a single thing about puters!

      Wow! Every fiber of your being is exerting dangerously high magnitudes of Gamemakerlessness! If you're a True Programmer, how do you explain that!?

      You can't. Because you're nothin'. You're absolutely nothing.

      You need to use Gamemaker. True Professionals and Programmers use Gamemaker.

      Return to Gamemakerdom! Return to Gamemakerdom! Return to Gamemakerdom!
