Canonical drop the Unity desktop environment for Ubuntu favour of going back to GNOME

Quoting: SpykerRe-inventing the wheel for business purpose was their worst call ever.

This is a funny general quote but there is a difference between Bycyle wheels and a car wheels.
And sometimes wheels too needs to be reinvented and redesigned for where they are being used.
All in one convergence was good idea but If they could not continue to develop it ,Canonical should never have wasted those efforts.

Too bad for convergence,It was a way to put Linux ahead of windows in technical terms.Future of Ubuntu becomes lot shakier too Bcoz they are redirecting their focus on Iot and Cloud not desktop.And from the blog it seemed more like Ubuntu is quitting bcoz of lack of community support.In that case Ubuntu desktop could entirely go into Coma,Which would not be healthy for Linux gaming or gaining desktop market share for Linux.

Question: Is there any interest in me doing a separate site to cover general Linux news?

This does not seems necessary. As, big Changes related to OS which can have impact on gaming can also be gaming news.

Hmm not every 1 prefer the switch...Unity 8,Snaps and convergence could truly deliver some competition to Microsoft.And with Vulcan gaming there was big chance for Ubuntu and Linux to gain
up to 10% market share.But now its back to Gnome and begs the question why unity was ever introduced?
All this hard work and effort was total waste.There is Ubuntu Gnome and many other Gnome distros.
Culling unity was that necessary?

It seems like, there is clear division in Linux community.Just Scrapping unity will not pull the community together.In that case it is clear,Future of Linux desktop is not too bright .And even Distros are free there is donation system and community contributions,But almost Zero liability for the customers.With this Ubuntu and Linux will lose lot of user trust.Many more choices are good but without a spearhead leading front ,future of Linux desktop looks shaky.Now, ppl has almost no reason to abandon stable and mature windows gaming platform even though it has lots of privacy issues.

EU 4 is good news.But there should be an article about canonical decision, to drop Unity and reducing overall desktop development.How much impact it can have for the future of Linux gaming?
