Re: Ubuntu desktop distribution
Well much depends on whether Canonical want to compete or work with the community. I suggest a real rationalisation would be for Canonical to effectively end game it's 'proprietary' desktop, maintain the
relevant repositories and to back one of the variants as the preferred mainstream business/enterprise desktop; an obvious candidate would be the Mint distribution with the Cinnamon desktop.
Naturally, this level of standardisation would permit Canonical to develop desktop management tools that better reflect the tools available for enterprise deployments of MS Windows and thus make Canonical Linux a more attractive enterprise desktop.
