#unity8 — Public Fediverse posts

It's not that I'm a great fan of the #GObject type system and its way to build object-oriented code in C. I know some of the maintainers aren't as well, which I don't consider a surprise given the age and origin of that GObject ecosystem. So I absolutely understand #Canonical considered switching to #Qt for #Unity8, now #Lomiri.

But that's only one part of the story. The other part is I'm now using #GTK based desktop environments almost full time (only some occasions I turn on my old Mac).

Oh, #Ubuntu 17.04 and #Unity… how I miss you dearly.

(Yes I downloaded the 17.04 ISO and put it on a USB stick just to revisit it one more time.)

Ein Glück, dass Unity8/UnityX jetzt endlich in Lomiri umbenannt wurde. Jetzt kann ich endlich in Onlineuchmaschinen "how to run Lomiri on PopOS" eingeben, ohne, dass mir Gameengine Lösungen angezeigt werden.

@manjarolinux @ManjaroARM For everyone else wondering as well: #Lomiri is #Unity8 from #UBports, renamed (by UBPorts). https://ubports.com/de/blog/ubports-blogs-nachrichten-1/post/lomiri-new-name-same-great-unity8-115
