That article is riddled with inaccuracies. Basing on @HaliumProject does not "further limit the number of supported devices". Halium (a collaboration project of @kdecommunity and @UBports) is a standardized implementation of Libhybris and other components to make porting (...)
(...) classic Linux distributions to Android devices easier and more collaborative. If anything, the number of devices Plasma Mobile supports was increased by the introduction of Halium, and we will see more devices in the future.
Also, Ubuntu Touch did not "die a silent death", it's alive and kicking at @UBports: http://ubuntu-touch.io
Ubuntu Touch is about a lot more than just scopes, stating it was "doomed before it touched down on its first piece of hardware" is wrong and misleading, (...)
Ubuntu did many things wrong. An example would be the parallel, dead end, wasted effort of a Wayland look-alike. So, ok, maybe it's not dead. But being at a dead-end sounds pretty much the same to me...
I'm completely with you, mistakes were made. But calling Mir dead-end is an improper oversimplification. At the time development started, the Wayland protocol was a lot less mature, and its developers were not open to include the features Canonical envisioned. Was it a good (...)
(...) idea to completely part ways with Wayland and create everything in-house? Probably not. But the progress Mir made helped pushing forward innovation in Open Source, and Waylands development speed and adoption improved considerably because of that. After the end of (...)
(...) Canonicals investment in Convergence, the Mir team made the correct decision to re-architect parts of the stack to gain compatibility with the Wayland protocol. Mir is very high-quality software, and there are things it does better than other Wayland compositors. The (...)
(...) criticism that it was a competing standard, and that all app and graphics toolkit developers would have had to support both of them resulting in unnecessary extra work was valid before, but it's not anymore. Today, Mir is just another implementation of the Wayland (...)
(...) protocol, and there is nothing wrong with that. Also, please remember that it's free and open source software. You won't be forced to use it, but if you want to, you can. Please remember that @Canonical is not the enemy. Criticizing them is fine (and important), but it (..)
(...) should not boil down to something along the lines of "everything they do is stupid and pointless". In fact, they made huge contributions to the open source world, and Linux on the desktop would look a lot worse today if it weren't for @Ubuntu.
