That's a great idea, but it's actually missing the point about what
Canonical wants to do, if I understand their intentions. They are about
putting Linux on desktops and commercial devices, which is potentially now
where the company can make a difference and a profit.

For that matter there is now a tablet that run Linux on ARM, although it's
KDE and Mer,
