After having released the first release in the now far away in June 2010 and have it pre-installed for the first time on Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Edition with the release in October of the same year, Canonical has suddenly announced the closure of the Unity project.
During the evening yesterday Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Ubuntu and Canonical Ltd, revealed in the pages of ubuntu future plans of the company and consequently the well-known operating system. Canonical will focus more in the development of Cloud and IoT infrastructure, areas where the company is already heavily committed, and that will bring the same to higher growth.
I'm writing to let you know that we will finish our investments on Unity 8, telephony and convergence. With Ubuntu 18.04 LTS will be the default desktop environment Gnome again.
It 'clear that the news is not trivial, and not just about the desktop environment. Ubuntu had indeed focused heavily on Unity, an interface that would have to do his strength convergence between desktops, tablets and phones. But really Unity 8, the version on which jobs and proclamations in 2013 began and had to be ready by October 2016, only to be delayed to arrive (will?) With Ubuntu 04.17 on the 13th of this month, is already a defunct project.
So are some of the recently released Ubuntu by Canonical and smartphone manufacturers such as BenQ and Meizu.
