Nope, it'll have to be open source still. Unless they plan to re-write it significantly enough for it not to be considered a " Linux Kernel " anymore.

You know what would be awesome...having the ability to choose DEs for each "mode". Say E17 for the phone/pad mode with tiling on and KDE for the desktop. Oh one could dream right...

Why would one want annoying Unity interface in Android? ....

.....I have officially dropped my support for anything Ubuntu Unity.... I rather using a Chrome OS on android device webtop instead of this.

GSM ARENA've talked about Android 5.0 Jelly Bean to arrive in Q2 with Chrome OS dual-boot <~Click...

So there is where we appreciate the Unity interface guys.

Gnome would probably suck a bit but this means Java support so yay!

Many of You think Ubuntu is open source? I think not so it is... One of Canonical told "don’t plan on downloading it any time soon. Ubuntu for Android is directed at phone manufacturers only" . So you will not able downloading it from their Ubuntu site for your device anytime..

[Extreme Tech] Canonical reveals Ubuntu for Android

I wrote the initial info for this case, so that's pretty much my review. Compared to the TT Command Snow I just evaluated, if THIS case was ATX sized, I would rather buy this case than the TT...

Overall, I'd recommend passing on buying this unless you're at the store and it's the cheapest one you like. I'm more impressed by the quality of the generic Apex TX521 that Tiger Direct likes to...

Picked these up for my TRON Legacy theme build. Got the optional light bar upgrade kit(s). Note, for a quad channel package you will need two light bar kits as each covers two sticks. No issues...

I honestly love this cooler, but I think I'm gonna move on to another one soon, it just looks... A bit to bland compared to other flaming red (literally) coolers on the market.
