Recently, a massive edit war happened started by IP [[Special:Contributions/27.33.158.15|27.33.158.15]] who claims that Ubuntu isn't open source, and made changes accordingly. Another user reverted, and added sources linking to http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/, where the actual source code was hosted. The IP instead continued to revert persistently claiming "it isn't open source" and it's "gibberish". I've just posted a 3RR warning to the IP, and reverted it again. Care to explain why, 27.33.158.15, you think Ubuntu was a closed source system? Ubuntu was usually bundled with open source programs, so it's completely impossible for Ubuntu to be closed source without violating their licenses...

Result: Delisted.–--Retrohead (talk) 09:33, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lots of single sentences, poorly structured, although reasonably well referenced. Might be salvageable if somebody wants to take it on. Jamesx12345 13:43, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There hasn't been any significant progress, so I'm delisting it. The article really needs one person to bring it together to a coherent whole, as it is there is a lot of redundant information and a large number of single sentence paragraphs. Jamesx12345 15:09, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Family tree lists Chromium OS

..although Chromium OS says it's based on Gentoo according to this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Esmil (talk • contribs) 20:54, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Kubuntu and LXQt

The Variants section states that Kubuntu moved from KDE to LXQt, but I did not find anything about such a switch anywhere, so I question this edit. If nobody objects, I'll revert it. And in case this really did happen, at least some sources should be added, since such a switch would be big news. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fez1191 (talk • contribs) 06:26, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

File:Ubuntu Through The Years 2004-2016.ogg

@Ahunt: This video is official Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Free Culture Showcase. So that's good reason to add in article.
But what's objection? "The dreadful soundtrack". Oh come on, de gustibus non disputandum est --Максим Пе (talk) 09:10, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Okay here are my objections: 1. The soundtrack is awful, really distracting and adds nothing to the understanding of the subject; 2. There is no explanation of what the video is showing, which releases the viewer is looking at; 3. There is no time line to indicate when these releases happened; 4. There is no indication if these are all the releases or just selected ones. Overall it is very poor quality, seems like really badly-produced PR stuff and is not suitable encyclopedia content. - Ahunt (talk) 12:03, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I echo the previous comments, mostly that there is no clue which releases are being presented so it offers no encyclopedic information. There's also no proof that the soundtrack—poor audio quality and a style that may not appeal to all listeners—is licensed for use in a presentation like this.

Anonymous IP claiming Ubuntu is closed source

Recently, a massive edit war happened started by IP 27.33.158.15 who claims that Ubuntu isn't open source, and made changes accordingly. Another user reverted, and added sources linking to http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/, where the actual source code was hosted. The IP instead continued to revert persistently claiming "it isn't open source" and it's "gibberish". I've just posted a 3RR warning to the IP, after the whole war happened. Care to explain why, 27.33.158.15, you think Ubuntu was a closed source system?
