Indeed it was. I still miss the last Gnome 2 version with 2.32 though (I think).

They’re both good in their own ways. What’s better is the choice we have.

Eh, a small gap in the CV doesn’t change that I guess. :)

Also IIRC Unity started with 10.10, as a netbook edition.

Well, they try things time to time. They had their own init system, own display server. They eventually went with more mainstream variants, almost every time.

Simply no. Canonical always used GNOME and I don’t see that’s changing.

From the user’s point of view, if you discovered KDE you might have discover other distros as well. Kubuntu still be your start point though, or even where you settle.

This usually happens when you update your system but not flatpak. Update flatpak and it should be fine.
