Is this Ubuntu... it looks like Ubuntu!

Looks like ubuntu.

Unity 😥😫😷😨😭😢😩😓😦😰😱👎💥💣

My personal laptop runs xubuntu. Unity was to much for the little machine.

@avstuff
I have no idea if Canonical used anything to think with when they started pushing unity

@Linux is that what it is or do you mean the game engine Unity?

@localdam unity is the default desktop environment of ubunutu. It's similar to gnome odr kde.

@M4R1KU oh right! Learning something new everyday! I was impressed to see this rather than a windows machine though!

@localdam yeah it's really uncommon to see linux system on such screens in public.

Sir, that is, without a doubt, Ubuntu...

@Linux I'm not a fan of unity (and especially not compiz, which goes berserk on CPU on some platforms, Nvidia I think), but what's making you hate it?

@Gauthier
The reasons you mention.
It is slow, buggy, ugly and ugly and slow.

I wish I could upvote your comment 1000 times

@Linux probably crystal meth or crack

Wait, what? You guys use UIs? Holy shit I need to rethink my life.

@jayMcD when I come to think of it, when I used unity I had the task bar hidden and no icon on the desktop. So... The top bar and that's it. I liked starting programs from the hud and the super+number. What I disliked was the ridiculous size of the window titlebars. This could be reduced with a zoom out factor, but then some window content was zoomed out too. My settings for gnome-terminal had fonts at 16, IIRC :/

I don't mind unity to be honest. Granted on my older hardware I've swapped it for gnome classic since it slowed it down but on my day to day laptop it just sits there. All I've got on it is chromium and terminal. To open anything else I use the command line anyway so there isn't much if a point for me to be messing about with different desktop environments.

@Hevlastka But once you've opened it from terminal, it gets its window, right? What the WM does to this window is important, to me at least. Not to mention how workspaces and multiple monitors are managed...
