Redemption: here's an enthusiastic review of Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver with the Unity desktop environment, covering relevance, look & feel, ease of use, responsiveness, resource utilization, significant ergonomic advantages over Gnome 3, long-term production usage considerations, and more. Take a look. https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-beaver-unity.html Cheers, Mrk
Thanks Mrk, that was interesting, and optimistic lol. 'The menu that made the "community" hate Ubuntu.' ~ op cit I never understood this. Unity was the best thing that happened to Ubuntu IMO.
The quotation marks are essential because if by the "community" we mean users then Unity was a win. Then there's the other Linux "community", those to whom the UI is a dirty concept.
The Ubuntu community seemed split roughly 50/50. Half loved it, half hated it. A bit like Marmite in that respect; you either love it or hate it. I'm more Vegemite myself.
Hello Mrk, I just installed Unity desktop in my Xubuntu 18.04. Did not have to select Light DM since the terminal didn't ask me to. After reboot, I selected Unity from the "Mouse" icon in the top right corner of the screen. Voila! Much has changed since I last used Ubuntu years ago. Is there any way I can find more wallpapers? The number of default wallpapers currently available is rather limited.
I just finally got around to installing 18.04 today and I must say I am pleasantly surprised at how nicely done it is. The install went smooth, zero problems, and everything seems to just work the way it should. Very nice... I actually prefer Gnome too, having gotten used to it with Debian in recent years. At any rate, I can highly recommend this one, so far it seems great.
