The CEO of System76 joins us to discuss the impact Ubuntu’s recent announcements on Linux, the community, and products built around Ubuntu.
Then we debate if Canonical leading Ubuntu down a path of collapse under the weight of a massive gamble on unproven, in-house technology, or are they about to make their grand contribution to the open source community?
Plus the good news for KDE & WebM users, we answer some Linux questions…
AND SO MUCH MORE!
All this week on, The Linux Action Show!

Ubuntu’s Big Gamble:
Unity Next (aka Qt/QML Unity-Redid)
- Ubuntu Announce Unity Next, Will Be Written in Qt/QML
- Taking Unity to the next level
- Ubuntu’s Unity Written In Qt/QML For “Unity Next”
Mir
The chosen approach was to develop Mir, our own Display Server which is engineered driven by the designs and requirements that our larger vision dictates – no compromises, no crude hacks, fully testable & tested, performance in mind, support for legacy X applications, developed by Ubuntu for Ubuntu.
