Samsung has announced a new app called Linux on Galaxy that works with its DeX docking station to bring a full Linux desktop experience to Galaxy Note8, Galaxy S8 and S8+ smartphone users.
Comments from IDC sounded skeptical saying the concept is "interesting at best", but "the No. 1 challenge is that there is no public infrastructure for where you can dock your phone, other than in your home or office... Where you really would like to have that is at a hotel, at an airport, etc."
Samsung is touting their DeX environment as "supremely better than all the earlier attempts to have a smartphone docking into a big screen".

A pizza with freaking anchovies is the equivalent of GNOME 3. There's no human being liking the thing, yet somehow pizza manufacturer shills put forth false claims this shit might be edible. Then there are even references to anchovies in games that require a fix [github.com].
So sorry, GNOME3, anchovies, Metro, systemd and coprophagia are all on one boat.

Might wanna have a chat with some Napolitanos/Sicilians, you know, the ones who "invented" pizza.

AC nails it.
There's also the history of Roman love for stinky fish all smashed up; a cat's soup (no). Can't remember the name.
Aged pureed mackerel in tomato might come close to that and by the way I'm slightly horrified to discover (while searching for a fitting visual example) that mackerel in tomato is a global thing (Thai example here [amazon.com], at least they gave it a pretty mascot instead of a picture of the contents looking like the usual asphalt pizza/roadkill).
Pum Pui... another great company name, likely "om-nom-ato-poetic" :D (spelt [wiktionary.org] wrong on purpose!)

I like anchovies on pizza. Maybe you're mistaking the mediterranean engraulis encrasicolus with the pacific engraulis mordax? I use the imported canned ones on this recipe [youtube.com] and it's great.

Anchovies are bait.

It's true. You wouldn't believe how many X-Large pepperoni and mushroom pizzas I've realed in using anchovies.

Between KiloByte saying anchovies isn't for humans and Pslytely Psycho saying it's used to bait real food, it seems we have a consensus RamiK is eatable... Dibs on the chops!

You are not Italian. My grandmother said "its not Pizza if it has not got Anchovies".
Its Pineapples on a Pizza that is like Systemd. - They don't just sit there, they contaminate the whole thing!

Maybe anchovies and pineapples don't mix too well but since you brought it up my brain screams
smashed mackerel in tomato with cheese and pineapple pizza.
The flavors would both compete and cooperate.
If no Italian already does it then now they can!
The answer to "red or white wine?" would be grappa directly from the bottle.
P.s. what about curry pizza?

You know, that's a staple of every Hollywood movie that mentions pizza, but like most things that come out of Hollywood it's nonsense. Anchovies blend into the pizza flavor and make it so much more savory. If you go to a good Italian restaurant and you wonder why it's so much better than what you can do at home, it's because they put anchovie paste in the sauce. If you are really digging the rich, creamy dressing on your Cesar salad, it's because it has anchovy paste in it.
Every cuisine has a secret ingredient that puts it head and shoulders above the rest. For Mexican it's cilantro. For Chinese it's sesame oil. For Italian it's anchovies.

Actually, I find anchovies too salty. I prefer sardines on pizza. Unfortunately, the only pizza joint I knew of that ever did that didn't make good pizza, and folded decades ago.
If there's nothing else salty on the pizza, than anchovies are ok. Otherwise I'd give them a pass.
