infinityOS is now a (friendly) fork of Ubuntu
Written for infinityOS by Ryan Oram on 2010-05-07
It's time that Linux grew up. Linux is now a production operating system. We want to play games and for Linux to have a proper audio framework that allows for game development. We also want desktop effects without our videos tearing. It's time we abandon X11 and PulseAudio and write frameworks for Linux that meet the needs of users.
I have serious concerns about the release system employed by Ubuntu and feel that the sound system it uses is inadequate for the needs of the average user (it can stream music to your kitchen but can't play games...).
The proposals I posted on the Ubuntu developer mailing lists were rejected so I will be taking infinityOS in a different direction then Ubuntu. infinityOS will remain 100% binary compatible with Ubuntu. My goal is for infinityOS to become the Firefox to Ubuntu's Mozilla.
The subjects of my proposals are "Ubuntu needs a new development model" and "Removal of PulseAudio from Ubuntu". The full discussions can be found at:
