Exhibit A:
After years of
comfortable service to Linux users far and wide, the GNOME
2 desktop was effectively retired, replaced instead by the
mobile-inspired GNOME
3 alternative. Ubuntu, meanwhile, launched its like-minded Unity.
Many Linux users
balked, not enjoying the mobile paradigm on the desktop.
Instead, they turned to any one of countless alternative desktops or distros. Eventually, the GNOME project relented. Meanwhile, brand-new desktops and distros were born to serve this base of users who yearned for the classic experience. Life went on, and users were happy again.
