It wont happen, as Ubuntu (and any other distribution) will never have native DirectX support.

Awesome. Can't wait for this to be released. I've had a pretty good run with Ubuntu on my PC. If I wasn't lazy and didn't want to configure WINE to run all my games it would be my main operating system.

Isn't Android linux-based? :B

On the other hand, Android ports for laptops suck xD

I would try out Ubuntu on my phone... now that I understand how it works on my laptop xD

Short answer: No

Long answer: Linux kernel is a monolithic kernel. That means Linux kernel is whole/complete operating system alone. None of GNU software belongs to Linux operating system. Case would be different if Linux would be a microkernel and GNU would provide OS servers for it, like with HURD operating system what is a Mach microkernel + HIRD (OS servers).

There has never be a so called "GNU/Linux" because Linux isn't a microkernel.

And "Linux" means exactly same thing what people talk about as "Linux kernel". Linux does not mean a distributed software system like Ubuntu or Android, but only a operating system (what monolithic kernel is).

I... Thought I knew lots about computers. I have programed some small games and have some experience in android development. But I didn't understand half of what you said.
