Can someone please explain to me what Canonical hopes to accomplish with mir? What do they gain? AFAIK they don't actually have a hardware partner for tablets, and their phone kick starter failed. They are splitting development efforts from the other distros for a vapor product line.

To the person that wanted to know what desktop that was in my screen shot, it was Razor-qt. Lxde and Razor have merged (which is the first time I have heard of that happening) because they had the same design goals, and LXDE is moving to QT.

Also, I found this gem on canonical's website.

Most of this stuff is in China. There really are Ubuntu-branded kiosks at the mall and computer stores selling Canonical-supported stuff there. I'm pretty sure they really do have a phone / tablet partner or two lined up but I'm also pretty sure you won't see it in the US.

does canonical actually make money?

Anything other than downloaded CD images containing an Ubuntu mark requires permission from Canonical. This includes obvious stuff like Dell/System76 PCs shipped with Ubuntu, but also cloud VMs like on Amazon and Azure. The majority of cloud VMs out there are running Ubuntu, so I imagine this is real business.

Also the fact that Microsoft is paying Canonical is kinda lol.

With all these problems I think I am going to wait another year and see if Linux gets easier to use. I tried in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002,2003,2004,2005,2006,2007,2008,2009,2010,2011,2012,2013, and now 2014. I think they may get everything polished and usable on the desktop in 2015 though.

I just thought I'd offer this for someone who is afraid of editing a file in vi(m), it's really not that scary; you only need about 10 or 20 commands to be able to edit files fairly efficiently. An IBM developer wrote this handy cheatsheet and it's easily enough to figure out how to move around, edit and save a file.

Just remember there are two modes, you hit esc to go into command mode and can hit i to go to insert mode and enter text, starts in command mode typically. Use hjkl to move around the file while in command mode or play nethack. To quit out you can use :q (:q! to force), or :x to save and exit (all while in command mode). Probably don't hit capital :X instead as that may prompt to encrypt the file depending on the version, which you probably don't want at this point. Another handy command is :/text, hit enter and it'll bring you to that string in the file (case sensitive).

If you ever have the opportunity to see someone good work with vi or emacs it makes a lot more sense.

Shinku ABOOKEN posted:

was there ever any env-free os?

plenty, one example would be the classic Mac OS, also the Lisa OS and many other non-DEC-inspired systems (of which Unix counts here)

that's one reason "in the beginning was the command line" is absurd. early computers ran a program immediately upon boot and weren't interactive, and then command lines for many interactive systems were much more "menu-like" than "program-like"

the minicomputer OSes for DEC hardware are where command lines like today's took shape; Unix was built for such a system by people who had used similar systems, and so was CP/M and its clone QDOS

I expect the DEC command lines were more programming-like because they were trying to cram interactivity into as small a size as possible, while IBM and other mainframe vendors basically only gave you batch processing until you could afford enough computing resources to do a nicer UI (like forms on a 3270)

quote:

or at least env-free build system?

tons, most non-programmable build systems are like that. THINK Lightspeed Pascal & C, Metrowerks CodeWarrior, etc. I think Turbo Pascal was like that too

It's either because everything in tech is misogynist, or women have a lower incidence of autism. Maybe both.

They're counting contractless Ubuntu and paid Ubuntu as one unit. If you counted RHEL and CentOS together, that would win.
