> Ubuntu tried this - how'd that go?

See also: Microsoft. The entire point of Windows 8 and later UWP were convergence.

In fact that article reads like pure bullshit, they're only mentioning the two OS vendors which are not attempting convergence (some cross-polination at best) and ignoring the history of suck and failure that is "OS convergence".
