Qt's Bright Future on Ubuntu
summary
Ubuntu ships Unity 2D built in QML as the default in 11.10, targeting low‑acceleration and ARM devices; the QML stack is preinstalled so QML runtime included and Qt/QML apps don’t force extra library downloads. Apps publish through the Software Center with about a two‑day turnaround for uploads, an estimated user base around 20 million, and paid apps typically selling in the hundreds; paid submissions receive Canonical review while stable release packages go through a community application review board. Development ties into Launchpad/bzr and UDS planning sessions.
