I have to admit that the prospect of Ubuntu's future looking not so bright is a bit disconcerting. Does anyone have any insight into why the author of this article makes this claim? I know that there is a lot of controversy about Ubuntu's changes to try to build 'something new' that will compete with the big players, but I didn't think this meant that Ubuntu has an uncertain future.

I guess nobody has a time machine, but as a long-time user of Ubuntu, I'm intrigued by what those in the know feel about its future. Is Ubuntu jumping the shark?

Probably the fact that after they made Linux much user friendly and popular they focused on mobile and didn't really touch the desktop significantly again.

Between Mir and Unity, it has jumped the shark years ago.
