![]() ![]() Start thinking about more powerful cell phones becoming less expensive and people in developing countries. I'm not particularly thinking about Ubuntu Phone displacing Android or Apple in the U. These are first world people, thinking first world thoughts. That is my point: three years in the future, an appreciable percentage of people will only have a cell phone as a computer and.this is the tricky part, it will be all okay.įorget all the blogs, forget the tech pundits, and especially forget CNN. ![]() But these phones will most likely be the only computers for possibly a majority of people. Well, the last three points don't matter for this point, but the other ones make me think that waaaaay in the future, like three years from now, people will be using their phones as their computers. Apple starts selling uninspiring products and Microsoft slowly dies. Phone hardware is reaching an inflection point exceeding most needs. Android has shown that an operating system can pretty seamlessly span multiple devices. However, what I do see happening is this being a life changing event for perhaps millions of people in the world.ĭesktop sales are dropping. It's not that I don't think it would make a smart piece of kit, it just doesn't seem like a compelling product for me.

So any suggestions are welcome at this point.Caveat emptor - I'm pretty tired so I thought I'd write this blog post. I have not used Windows in about two decades and do not particularly care for it but right now anything stable would be considered. I want something straightforward without a lot of bells and whistles and is rock solid going from one release to its successor. Regarding my desktop PC I am open to suggestions about what other operating systems I could install to replace Ubuntu. I thought about reverting back to 20.04 but that has dangers as well and it would be a "one in a row" attempt for me.Īs a workaround to get back to the IDE I am going to resurrect a Raspberry Pi unit I have lying around that should give me a needed portal to the Arduino software. What was I thinking? Now I have an updated OS that has no audio output and the USB serial ports are now non-functional, rendering the Arduino IDE useless. In my limited wisdom I recently decided to upgrade Ubuntu from 20.04 LTS toĢ2.04 LTS. I am computer literateīut not a programmer/IT systems analyst type capable user.
