It&#x27;s hard to decide to give them something with this list of options - really what can you choose here  <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ubuntu.com&#x2F;download&#x2F;desktop&#x2F;contribute&#x2F;?version=16.04&amp;architecture=amd64" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ubuntu.com&#x2F;download&#x2F;desktop&#x2F;contribute&#x2F;?version=1...</a> the alternatives are:<p>1. Ubuntu for personal and mobile computing - I want convergence now! - really? I&#x27;m just afraid it will push the desktop version to suck more like Unity.<p>2. Ubuntu for cloud computing - I want Ubuntu running my cloud and as a guest in my cloud of choice. - well I&#x27;d rather have Ubuntu be my desktop choice and have them more focused on that.<p>3.Ubuntu for things - I want a secure, upgradeable Internet of Things, powered by Ubuntu. - Well, Raspbian lite has got that covered, will ubuntu further strip down a debian or where do they think they want to improve for IoT?<p>4.Community projects
I support LoCo teams, UbuCons and other events, upstream projects and all the good work the community does. - well I&#x27;m afraid the money will mostly go into t-shirts and beer conferences. If you guarantee the money goes to upstream projects I&#x27;m down for that option at least.<p>5.Tip to Canonical -
Hats off for making Ubuntu possible. Keep it up. - Well yeah, but what does that mean considering from the other options(convergence, cloud, iot) does a tip mean I endorse this new path instead of desktop focus?<p>At least before they had some option about addressing driver incompatibilities..
Someone please help me&#x2F;us choose.. I want to spend money for an open source OS for my desktop as to to not make me feel naked in front of Microsoft employees when I browse the internet.
