Call me crazy, but I really like Unity. Back on windows, I always kept by taskbar on the left side anyway, and I prefer the dash search to anything else I've seen.
- 3princip 11y agoMe too, I prefer unity + auto-hide taskbar. At first there were some reservations until it got familiar, now anything else doesn't cut it. I hope they don't abandon it or change it drastically as is so often the way these things go. Re Ubuntu, it helps that it works exceptionally well on anything remotely modern (6 year old PC here with SSD, won't be upgrading until it dies), and it is getting incrementally better with each release.
- yAnonymous 11y agoSame. It looks slick, is very fast (thanks to well defined and configurable keyboard shortcuts) and easy to use. Whatever the haters have against it, in the end I get stuff done faster and spend less time configuring my DE.
- bufordsharkley 11y agoThe keyboard shortcuts for snapping are so key. I really struggle to manage windows on any computer that isn't running Unity.
- toxican 11y agoWhat I don't get is why they didn't make them match the Windows hotkeys. It was ALT+START+LEFT to stick something left, for example. Why add the ALT?
- mixmastamyk 11y agoI liked the idea of Unity, but they snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in so many small places I get quickly enraged using it. Ubuntu Mate for me. ;)
- hatsunearu 11y agoIMHO, Unity is by far the best DE in Linux. It has come a long way since the horrors of the first few iterations of the product. It has some critical flaws, but it's manageable. (The worst being poor workspaces support)
- slavik81 11y agoMy favourite thing is hitting Alt and searching through menu items. It's what I miss most when using Gnome or Windows.
