The future of Ubuntu
Traditionally Ubuntu has been known for providing the world with a stable, friendly and usable GNU/Linux desktop while Fedora has been known for launching cutting edge technologies which might not be very mature at the point of release. Hence hardcore hackers swear by the likes of Fedora and Debian while casual users loved Ubuntu.
Ubuntu has decided to take a brave leap into the future by replacing two core systems of it’s desktop UI. According to announcements made Ubuntu 11.04 is going to ship with the Unity interface instead of the standard Ubuntu Gnome UI. It is also going to replace the venerated Xorg server display system with Wayland. Lets see what Unity and Wayland are all about.
X server’s most lauded feature is it’s network transparency. This means that you may have a X server running on your local machine and an X client running in a PC in Australia can display its contents over the network.

The future of Ubuntu
It has no future unless they actually start listening to their users instead of shoving crap down their throats like button placement, Unity Desktop and other doodie.
