Yay! I often wondered if anyone used all those janky Canonical features they keep trying to stuff into Ubuntu. I guess it's hard to not try and become like MSFT, even if most of your customers use your product because it's NOT from MSFT...
They might as well remove it altogether... Btw, when it's Canonical going to announce that they will stop developing Ubuntu Phone? The writing has been in the wall for months and with Mozilla's recent announcement I believe it's just a matter of time. I think the vast majority of the mobile OS market has just moved on and is pretty ok with the two most popular OS options. I kind of feel sorry for Ubuntu[1] and Linux[…
I've seen a few comments over the last few days speculating about us halting development on Ubuntu phone. Nothing could be further from the truth. The software development continues apace, and more devices and more ports to existing devices on the way next year.

Call me crazy, but I really like Unity. Back on windows, I always kept by taskbar on the left side anyway, and I prefer the dash search to anything else I've seen.
Same. It looks slick, is very fast (thanks to well defined and configurable keyboard shortcuts) and easy to use. Whatever the haters have against it, in the end I get stuff done faster and spend less time configuring my DE.

Not before time! I would occasionally use it in the Windows style "start typing the app name" use case and it was annoying enough that it seemed to prioritize the online searches making you wait for a couple of seconds before it showed the local results, but it would also often bring up weird matches for adult content too!
You just have to install Gnome Desktop and everything is fine.

The keyboard shortcuts for snapping are so key. I really struggle to manage windows on any computer that isn't running Unity.

I switched to linux mint a while back and i have to say I'm very satisfied of how stable and easy to use it is. It's basically Ubuntu LTS without all the buggy slow crap like unity.

It has some critical flaws, but it's manageable. (The worst being poor workspaces support)

When I read "reinstall to upgrade" I decided Mint wasn't for me. I use Xubuntu and it's pretty good - Ubuntu without the dumbed-down Unity stuff.

That's what happened with me on Mint. I appreciate how quickly I can re-install Linux and get everything back to how I want it, but I want that to be by choice not by design.

Good to hear. Waiting for a useable version on a good phone in the US. Preferably a OnePlus.
