They later retracted those inaccurate statements but I'm still yet to hear a valid reason for Mir's existence that explains why they believe their required functionality can't be implemented in Wayland.

...and whatever happened to Mir being shipped by default in Ubuntu 14.04? As far as I'm aware, it's still not ready!
They dropped upstart in favour of the piece of shite that is systemd. Why do they insist on continuing with Mir?

Should we also mention here that from Ubuntu 14.04 Canonical has begun to *hardcode* the window buttons position to the left side in their Unity interface?
And you want such a company make your personal mobile device?

Back on the topic, I am grateful to Ubuntu for luring me into the Linux world back in the day, after a few unsuccessful attempts with SuSE, Slackware, Mandrake and a few others. Unfortunately, over the years, I had become increasingly disillusioned with them and eventually ditched Ubuntu altogether. A phone that does not even multitask is not going to change that.

I think ubuntu will be needed in the mobile world. To me ubuntu and Jolla could help eachother even if they live in their own bubbles help and trigger sales. I think the ubuntu name have more pull than sailfish or tizen. Sailfish is too basic for proper usage and ubuntu has not even reached end-users. But if they pull together against android and ios they can grow faster then if they and their fanboys digs in in their respective fox holes.love change. Love innovation and main driver for that is options.

Besides that, I think that Ubuntu gains from Jolla/community (libhybris), but not the other way around. I must agree with pichlo - I am also thankful to Ubuntu for easing the path to Linux many years ago, but then I am quite glad they switched the buttons to the left, because it finally made me leave for much better (and friendlier) distros. Now the line of Ubuntu's brand-moves is quite long and I'm glad I don't participate. Just few examples:
- the Mir fiasco (+spreading lies about Wayland)
- the Ubuntu Edge marketing con
- sending all searches to Amazon by default
- Ubuntu Touch multitasking
- "stealing" of libhybris

If Jolla could do a Samsung and add it they would do something amazing. Both tasks witching and multitasking.
Here you go.

Love that list. That makes them different. Its no rocket science. All companies have a list like that. Jolla, tizen...you name it. But it's great to show the bad things. Keep em coming.
