....for free.
But seriously it's hard to create quality software especially if you are not as rich as Apple or MS

#5While I like Ubuntu going back to Gnome for desktop, it is unfortunate this lessens the chance of running Linux on mobile phones anytime soon.

Oh god please no. I would really prefer that we stop the experimentation and just go back to implementing the standard desktop. Linux got its success by being a Unix clone, down to copying the syscall numbers. We should mimic that on desktop by just copying Windows, rather than chasing unproven weird ideas. OSX succeeds not because it's quirky, but because it is backed by a company with massive resources. And even OSX is much closer to Windows than Gnome is. Please stop innovation for innovation's sake and just make Windows 98 again.

Linux is the kernel, so thanks to Android, it actually runs on most Android phones.
(this is why it's often called GNU/Linux - Linux with GNU userspace; Android has its own userland so you could call it Android/Linux)

Linux already is running on the majority of mobile phones. :)
That said, the UI has never been what's holding back Ubuntu on the phone.

I wouldn't mind Windows 10 UI on Linux.

Hell, I'm happy with MATE; Unity, Gnome3, KDE, et al just fail to meet that combination of usable features, low footprint, and staying out of the way.
