Another version of Ubuntu rolls out of the gates. And unity will be the desktop default. The Linux desktop has been split up into KDE, Gnome, and tilling managers and etc... Do you think unity can change this? I have used the Ubuntu Netbook Remix that had unity and it needed a lot of work. The 11.04 release may be better. A look at Android might help here. With a unified desktop and more open standards than Apple, Android is a huge success. Is it a massive waste of development time to have so many desktop environments? Will unity make any difference to you, or are you just going to install your choice of interface? I'm currently installing Gnome3 for a test drive. I will give unity a chance and use it for 2 weeks and give some feed back on the lug. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
