Unity8 being packaged for Debian |
 |
Unity8 is a desktop environment that was originally created by Canonical to provide a convergent experience. Unity8 was designed to run on a wide variety of devices, including small smart phone screens and large workstation monitors. While Unity8 rarely saw use outside of Ubuntu Touch devices and Canonical has ceased development of the desktop, some community develoeprs have continued work on the project. Unity8 is now being packaged for Debian with an eye toward making the desktop available for all Debian derivatives. Primarily it is hoped Unity8 packages will make it easier for Debian and related distributions to be useful on tablets. "Why Unity8? Because of its convergent desktop feature: Just one code base, usable on a phone, tablet and desktop. Unity8 currently is very well tested on the Ubuntu phone and on various tablet devices. The desktop implementation is lagging a bit behind, but that will be amended soonish, too. Why Unity8 for Debian? Because there is no real good solution for tablets in Debian at the moment. If I'm seeing this wrong, please correct me." |
