    Why is the unity is underrated when its what i use

    Everyone is going on about the lack of punctuation; I can’t get over this snippet. It’s like the ideal of an ego wrote this.

    If you’d like to know my experience with Unity DE, I thought it felt like a toy and when it was packaged with Ubuntu, it was the first time I left vanilla Ubuntu since the days of Gutsy Gibbon.

    I’m glad to hear Unity getting love. The customizability is by far linux’s key strength. So it can give people what they want. For example, it gives me the ability to completely ignore Unity.

    I still think KDE is a much smarter desktop environment and much more light or fast. I never liked GNOME 3 and Unity had many performance issues in the past. I also tried GNOME 3 recently and still, I needed many plugins to make it good and usable and was still lacking much stuff, while on KDE works all perfectly. I’m waiting for Plasma 6 now. :D

    Those are some punctiation characters you for sure missed. Please use multiple scentences, that was a hell of a read

        Its fine, but really improves readability :D imagine yourself breathing. Every scentence has a beginning, climax (point of most tension) and an end.

        Shortening it to many shorter scentences helps

      It also tried to save space with auto hiding the sidebar and using global menus built into the panel, instead of having a panel and then a titlebar.

      Clock in the top center of the screen with no native configuration option to put back on the side because fuck you!

      The universal menu bar saves space by shrinking application menus. Almost every DE has an application bar and I don’t see why you hate that.

    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.

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

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

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

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

    As a long time Ubuntu hater, no. They did so much weird de shit that I eventually had to fuck off and I’ve been happier(in regards to computers only) ever since.

    I’m old school. I’ve been using GUI based OSes since Windows 3.11 and 95, and prefer KDE due to its similarity. Unity feels like what they did with Windows 8, where they tried to turn a desktop OS into a tablet OS. And it just feels “klunky”, for lack of a better term. Too much bling for not enough benefit. KDE strikes a nice balance between eye-candy and responsiveness.

    Unity was fine, I used it. But the fact I’ve never tried to replicate that workflow since moving on from Ubuntu is pretty telling.

    Using stock Gnome on Fedora Workstation now and couldn’t be happier.

    I miss Unity. It never got the love it deserved from a praise nor development standpoint. My typical Gnome desktop typically ends up being a quasi-Unity layout. I need to spin up the latest Ubuntu Unity spin for nostalgia’s sake.

    Last time I used unity full time was 3 years ago on an old hp, couldn’t run gnome for some reason and I was very noo in Linux at the time so I installed Ubuntu 16 and upgraded it to 18. The aesthetic was very windows 7. It was alright but I prefer gnome

    I never particularly cared for the Unity desktop. The first few times I tried it, there were hardware incompatibilities, slow performance, and crashing. Gnome3 is a complicated mess. I prefer to keep it simple. XFCE is fine for me.
