Vaughan-Nichols reports that Mark Shuttleworth, CEO of Canonical, is using his millions to improve the Linux user experience., hiring people to work on X, OpenGL, Gtk, Qt, GNOME and KDE. He had doubted that desktop Linux could ever equal the smooth, graceful integration of the Mac OS. Now, between the driving pace of open-source development, and Shuttleworth's millions, it might be happening. Why not? After all, Mac OS itself is based on FreeBSD. Desktop Linux's future is starting to look brighter."

  • I am very curious to see what comes out this one since I am huge Ubuntu user. So Ubuntu 9.04 should have a radically changed theme.

    • I am very curious to see what comes out of this one since I'm a huge Linux user in general [1]. It'll be sweet to see what this means for everyone involved.

      [1]: Yes, this does imply a double-meaning.[2]
      [2]: No, not THAT meaning of "huge", I mean the non-gutter one.
