sbv, to linux in The Unity Desktop Environment an Underrated Masterpiece

I used Unity for five or six years. It was undeniably fine. I had no complaints.

Mohamad20ZX,

But isn’t the new version great

sbv,

Probably? I switched employers and I’m running osx now. I prefer Unity, but osx works too.

I used it at university. I don’t think anyone there complained about it, and these people were not Linux users…

toomanyjoints69,

That might be why tbh. Unity seems very intuitive as long as someone has an open mind similar to the expectation that a mac will be different than wibdows.

sbv,

That’s good! It should be usable and intuitive for everybody.

As far as I understand, Unity is mostly just a Gtk-based desktop environment similar to Cinnamon, but with the Unity shell and launcher, and the global menu.

As a long-time Mac user I always liked the global menu, but it was just such a pain to always have to patch Gtk to get it to work, and in the end it isn’t such a huge improvement to my quality of life that I think it is worth the trouble. It is nice that Unity takes care of this for you. That said, and I hate to admit it, but I think Gnome actually is more stable than Unity, mostly because there is so much more financial backing for it, so it is hard for me to recommend using Unity unless you really just love the aesthetics of it.

Mohamad20ZX,

Ok but you know that im using the official Ubuntu unity flavor thats maintained and i really just want to be unique using an Underrated de instead of gnome and the like but kde is also great as well and i will switch to it after i get a customized to unity first
