   Canonical's track record of abandoning projects:

   - Unity
   - Upstart
   - Mir
   - Support for a bunch of derivatives
   - Ubuntu Phone/Touch
   - Ubuntu for Android
   - ...

   Still a good distro, but in case you wondered why I twitch briefly whenever I hear their name... now you know ?

     Thing is... even though their Ubuntu Phone may never have seen widespread adoption, it's actually been a good product. I've seen it, I personally know people who worked on it. I held it in my hands. It was really good!

     If Canonical didn't manage to pull off this feat, I have little hope anyone else will. That means we'll have only a few closed source options in the predominating computing market of the near future: mobiles.

     Hooray.

     Maybe you would if the platforms weren't walled gardens?

     I'm still hoping for a mobile computing device, that I can simply plug into a docking station and use as a (Linux) desktop wherever I go.

     The hardware would be powerful enough for most of my work scenarios these days.

     I fully admit that @lunduke provoked me to post this ?

     Maybe, yeah. Filter bubbles and such may distort my reality ?

     @nm

     Except the hardware wasn't anywhere near powerful enough back when... plus the project is part of the list of abandoned projects ?
