    You're right. Ubuntu is pretty much the only linux operating system I've used on a desktop so far, and I'll most likely stick with 14.04 for quite some time.

    But seeing that Ubuntu has now really started going to a direction of their own (that not many are pleased with), focusing on mobile, introducing mir and their own package manager, core apps for pretty much everything etc, I'm not sure if I want to "upgrade" to future versions of it anymore. And so Elementary OS Isis is becoming a more compelling alternative day by day.

    That said, I've yet to try it out. If someone knows a "better" linux desktop/distribution alternative to Ubuntu(Unity), please let me know.

    Not a real animal this time? Utopic? That doesn't sound like they're confident in it at all.

    Hmm, so 16.04 that they are aiming all their new things for is going to be what, the Xylophonic Xiphophorus?

    is the point of lts over normal. the .10 are always a pain in ass like 10.10 and 12.10, a lot of new features without stability

    Funny to hear him talk about unification when Ubuntu is all about fragmentation nowadays.
