Ubuntu Gnome Seeking Long Term Support Status

Posted by Unknown on from the release-early-maintain-forever dept.

sfcrazy writes "The Ubuntu Gnome team wants to join the elite club of Ubuntu flavors which enjoy the LTS (Long Term Support) status. Ubuntu 14.04 will be an LTS release making it a good time for the Ubuntu Gnome flavor to be promoted since it will be two more years before the next LTS release."

    If you had ever worked on a project with the almighty Ali/amjjawad you would petition no - and I have. You would scream it. He is a dictator who knows nothing about technology. Just look at his ToriOS project: torios.org

    He very recently killed it out of micro-managing incompetence. The man is incompetent and Ubuntu Gnome is lucky to have come together at all.

    I agree that Gnome 3 out of the box is a bit of a train-wreck in terms of usability, but what I discovered is now that gnome-shell has been around for a while there's lots of extensions that make it highly configurable and I have to confess I like what I can do with it.

    But what I can do with it is nothing like the default behavior. :)

    Why does Canonical keep fixing things that aren't broken, things that everybody's happy with? Ubuntu doesn't want to be Apple, nor does it want to be Windows. Ubuntu wants to be Ubuntu.
