I suspected that. Naturally, at least 98% of Canonical's new target demographic(s) is quite capable of editing the source. You were talking about Canonical not giving their permission for you to have a feature. That is provocative since they grant you all rights to change anything you like in any of their products. Certainly, if I had the know-how, I could just go create my own OS from scratch, build my own mobo from scratch, etc. This is Ubuntu, not Arch, and yes, everyone knows they can do everything themselves, whether it's their operating system, or changing their oil.But if you acknowledge that these things are not simple, then you must also realise that there is a limited number of people who are capable of doing these things. When Canonical pays these people to write software for you, they have to prioritise. And you asked for software to deactivate Canonicals software, didn't you? Does it make sense to you that something like that would have a high priority, if they even wanted to spend money on it at all? By the way, I have never claimed that you should program stuff yourself. In other words, Jo-Erlend Schinstad had nothing constructive to add. Why do people post such unhelpful By the way, I have never claimed that you should program stuff yourself. I was simply pointing out that Canonical is not denying you anything, and when you say "Will Canonical ever permit the user to disable the launcher", you are implying that they are. I certainly didn't intend for this to become a discussion though. Have a nice day. Jo-Erlend Schinstad |
