I have no faith in Canonical and am moving off Ubuntu desktop. Never tried Touch (though the whole Unity/mobile flavour was already off-putting) and don't intend to.
It's also a weird headline, wouldn't users choose iPhones then?

Nah, just seeing Ubuntu does it makes me want to not touch it.
Why don't you like Ubuntu? Because of the Amazon store thing?
Not OP, but they deleted the boot loader of when windows drive when I installed Ubuntu on a different drive... not cool, Cannonical.

how do you expect it to boot? At least linux keeps windows as an option, try installing windows after linux and you will be left without a way to boot it

#46What kind of a bubble do the Ubuntu devs live in if they dont see a reason to show even a single screenshot of their product? What goes through the head of the product manager writing a whole essay and a full extensive changelog but not bothering to add a fucking picture?
I really want to like linux but every dang distro i've tried is 3 feet from gold. It's like the final steps are never taken.
Great artists steal.

It would install its bootloader into its own partition and then it would be up to you to direct your boot sequence to look there. I just did this 2 hours ago with opensuse.

> My bank account works in the Browser Sounds like pure hell on mobile.
It isn't though. What fits into a app screen of a phone also fits into a browser screen on a phone
how your bank's push notifications work without native app? Recently I see there is fingerprint support in browsers on Android, but AFAIK it's quite new - have you had to enter password each time?

how does a non-technical user direct its boot loader to boot from a partition?
