Ubuntu UNITY is GNOME-MORE: 'One Linux' dream of phone, slab, desktop UI axed

Confucious

Yea, for Mir and Unity

Herewith an humble eulogy

On phone, tv and other screens,

Suppos'd to converge,

Or such was the dream

Seven years of not quite there

And droves of users fleeing elsewhere

A new display server caused consternation

"Not unity, but fragmentation"

April, cruellest month indeed

with an evening post 'twas decreed

"Next year we go back to Gnome"

Nevermore, the Ubuntu Phone

The dream of convergence--a bubble burst

And look, Samsung got there first

So yea, for Unity and Mir

We shall shed at most one tear

Fedora 24 is here. Go ahead – dive in

Confucious

Except that the first 4 X-apps are forks of the corresponding MATE apps
