Same here, 2017 unity is fast, stable and beautiful.

I hope this move results in the same improvements coming to gnome. but I'm not upgrading for now.

I have, it has is quirks.

With that said, use their smartwatches. The UI is so much better than the competition it's not even funny.

And then you have Samsung pay card emulation magic....

But if that is all your care about you can by a generic PC with similar specs for 1/3 of the price of the MBP.

I don't think your definition of success matches theirs. People have different values, some value openness above market share.

Speaking of openness, and since you mentioned ios: apple recently unpublished a company's entire catalog of apps without any explanations. The word on the street is malware (well technically fraudulent adware) but do you think you will ever get apple to admit that?

Define success.

Btw, Linux on desktop is used by many large tech companies...

Emacs has a GUI with icons and menus and tooltips and all that.

Isn't that what a true beginner would use anyway instead of the terminal version?

Google is being fined by EU for their business practices in EU.

Telia is being fined for their business practices in a third country.

Not defending anyone, but can't you see this is a dangerous path? What would happen if Saudi Arabia fined Coca Cola for an "indecent" commercial they televised in Delaware?

Telia is paying billions to US for conducting business in Uzbekistan in the only way it can be done.

please remember this next time EU fines Google.

I don't think Google cares about tablets anymore.

But I would love to see an updated nexus 7!

This is a valid concern, I don't understand why you are getting downvoted.
