unity8 VS development

Yes....finally ported to Debian FROM Ubuntu. The whole reason it was named Lomiri is that people had a problem with the Unity8 name. Aticle is sort of clickbait-ey. So you can look at the 3 months worth of work on Debian or you can look at the 5+ years worth of work while it was on Ubuntu . Even the website is Ubuntu specific. However seeing how Ubuntu is a derivative from Debian, most things should work.

Https://lomiri.com links to https://github.com/ubports/unity8 and this repository is accessible.

Lomiri DE Components: 80%

i this you linked to the wrong unity8 ... https://lomiri.com/ is the renamed unity8 that is used in the ubuntu touch phones now ubports phones

Unity. Yes, it's still around (now going by "unity8" and maintained and developed by UBports now instead of Canonical but it's still the same DE we all know and hate er love). Obv not my cup of tea so I'm not very knowledgeable about it so could be way off but who knows, maybe we'll get a Unity lover here and they can chime in. github

Probably not. There are two projects that are continuing the development of Unity though. Mind you that these are in name only since neither are being built off of Unity7. The first is Lomiri. It is being developed by UBports. The second is UnityX. It is being developed by the same people who maintain the Ubuntu Unity Remix.

Lomiri

Not sure, but I think it rebranded as lomiri, and their webpage claims it isn't ready for desktop use yet. There's also links to their github there, if you want to have a look.

i guess we need a feature that chrome doesn't have and attracts the attention of the crowd in the olden days that was a faster more customizable browser nowadays? i can think of 2 features either of which will take a significant (community) dev effort 1. a superior dev experience with firefox compared with chrome, firefox already has this with an style editor and a multi line javascript console among other things, maybe work closelier with stackblitz and integrate an enviroment where we can do everything from within a browser? if more devs develop in firefox their websites also get tested more on firefox, meaning a better experience for end users on firefox 2. a ground breaking way to discover and utilized PWAs, each fully isolated from each other and independently customizable this one will take a significantly long as PWA while very useful are very not discoverable for most users xd we could start by building a version of firefox (separate binary n' all) without any user chrome, no back button, no url bar, no nothing a la morph browser* and start from there
