Quoting: NeverthelessClear Linux becoming more consumer orientated, adopting KDE, Valve hiring for Kwin...hmmm...Quoting: GuestMaybe Shuttleworth still plans on a Canonical Initial Public Offering (IPO) in 2019. It would make Ubuntu more attractive if they don't focus on the 32 bit libs but on profitable projects instead.It will become clearer when Clear Linux adopts KDE Plasma.. .. Holy f.. it already has!
I think that it's time for Arch, Manjaro, Debian or Fedora to become the new leading OS for the desktop.
And I also like Clear Linux OS as a replacement for Ubuntu because it is generally the fastest system and because you have collaboration potential with Intel. And Clear Linux also works very fast on AMD hardware.
There will be some initial problems with Nvidia drivers and other issues but I think that Clear Linux OS can be a perfect replacement for Ubuntu in the long term.

Quoting: EikeWhy did they test games without 32 bit libs if they never intended to remove them?As their communication, was obviously rather poor even in their own ranks.

Quoting: TheSyldatYes it is sad but some websites would love to use this sort of news to make sensationalist articles.Quoting: liamdaweTo journalists from other websites reading: This does not mean the end of Linux support, Ubuntu is just one distribution.Isn't it saaad that you FEEL you HAVE to precise that at the bottom of your article ?
Like for real this is the epidemy of "Hey you'll want to pull some shenanigans you can't use my ass for this shit fuck off find another pigeon for this"

I was hoping to see some distro's reach out, it's time to really show who has a desktop focus.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleWonder how this affects Ubuntu derivatives.System76 already said Pop will continue 32bit, becoming maintainers themselves if they have to. System76 are smart, their users are the desktop, they at least understand their own market.

Is the perfect opportunity for to do a free protonic testing.
On my machine (i7 4790K/ GTX 970 Ubuntu 16.04.6) it works out of the box.

Yeah I've sent a bug report now too, I'm sure it will be fixed soon. Odd the usual workarounds don't work, must be a bug in their own game rather than Unity this time then.
