Izixhobo ezinefowuni Ubuntu eziya zisiba luncedo ngakumbi nangakumbi. Kwiiyure zokugqibela ii-smartphones nge Ubuntu Phonbe uya kufumana i-OTA-12, uhlaziyo esinokuthi siluthathe njengolungabalulekanga kwaye zizixhobo ezisemthethweni kuphela eziya kufumana, nangona kunjalo, ayisiyongxaki le yokuba ezinye iifowuni zifumane uhlaziyo kunye neenguqulelo zeFowuni Ubuntu.
Okokugqibela ukwenza njalo ngu Ifowuni ye-Fair 2, I-smartphone eyazalwa ine-Android kodwa ngoku sinokufaka Ubuntu ngaphandle kwengxaki iindaba zamva nje ezivela ku-Ubuntu Touch.
Uyilo lwayo yonke le nto ibikhona UMarius Gripsgård, Omnye wabaphuhlisi beprojekthi ye-UBPorts, iprojekthi ethi izame ukuzisa i-Ubuntu Ifowuni kwezinye izinto ezingahambelaniyo. Le projekthi ivelisa iziqhamo kwaye kuhlaziyo lokugqibela kubonwe ukuba lwenzeka njani I-FairPhone 2 ngoku ixhasa itekhnoloji yeAethercast okanye mandithi, sele iguqukile. Ngale nto, ividiyo ipapashiwe apho sinokubona ukuba umphuhlisi uyidibanisa njani iFairphone 2 yakhe ekubekeni esweni ngaphandle kwamacingo kunye nezinye izinto, kukhokelela kwikhompyuter ene-Ubuntu kunye ne-Unity 8 desktop entsha.
Kuyinyani ukuba nangoku Ifowuni yoBuntu ayikho 100% ilungile kwiFairphone 100 kodwa ngale sampulu yokuDibana, singatsho ukuba sele isebenza ngakumbi kunezinye iinkqubo ezisebenzayo zeselfowuni ezibonisa ukuhlangana okuncinci njenge Windows 10 Iselfowuni okanye iLumia 950 yayo. Ngayiphi na imeko, ezi ziphumo ziyahlangabezana nemihla emiselweyo, oko kukuthi, bekulindelwe ukuba iFairphone 2 ibe nophuhliso olukhulu kwezi ntsuku, oko kuphakamisa ukuba Kulula ukusebenza ngefowuni Ubuntu, ubuncinci kubaphuhlisi abalwa nezixhobo zehardware okanye ukupheka iirom ezintsha.
Ngelishwa konke oku ndibona ingxaki: akukho mntu une-esweni engenazingcingo okanye akukho lula ukuyifumana ke ngoko kunzima kumsebenzisi oqhelekileyo ukuba asebenzise olu manyano, nokuba kukwiFairphone 2 okanye nasiphi na esinye isixhobo. Ngokunokwenzeka isisombululo sidlula kwizibuko okanye iadaptha nangona abantu bengazukuyibona kakuhle Ingaba ucinga ntoni?
