The Unity user interface....
Nov. 24th, 2011 03:11 pmIn Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal), Canonical -- the makers/distributors/maintainers of Ubuntu Linux -- changed the default user interface from Gnome to Unity. And I thought, "Why? Why did they do this? I was used to Gnome, after using it for a few years. And now they make this major change. If something isn't broken, don't fix it!"
It's become a sore point un the Ubuntu community. Some have called it a bug and have submitted bug reports to that effect. But Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth isn't budging on this. He's committed Ubuntu to Unity; end of discussion.
I'm still running Maverick (10.10) on my desktop at home. I haven't upgraded it to Natty or Oneiric because of Unity.
At least I can still download Gnome from the software center, install it, and select it by clicking on the gear icon on the login screen.
( So, what don't I like about Unity? And what do I like about it? )
