By that flawed and short-sighted logic how do you explain Ubuntu with
a G for GNOME up until a couple of years ago?


Mark Shuttleworth hadn't figured out what direction he wanted to take his megalomania in yet and was biding his time for something disruptive to happen so he could try to usurp GNOME's position.

(Honestly, Unity gets criticized, laughed at, and used as a primary example of how Ubuntu is nothing more than a new love child of Microsoft Embrace-Extend-Extinguish and RedHat Not-Invented-Here mentalities. Do you think it would have lasted more than a week if they had rolled that out without major disruptive changes in GNOME a la Gnome-Shell? People jumped ship as-is.)
