Yes, the interface is good but it sucks the resources out of the system. Have you noticed how much CPU and memory does `compiz` consume?

Only if you tried using anything else!
- eveningcoffee 10y agoI used Windows as my main desktop before (till Window 7) and I must say that its UI usability degraded constantly. Windows 8 and 10 have thier own problems, but my experience is just occasional with them. I have also occasionally used some other Linux desktop, or tried to use it, but Unity feels most polished and logical for me. I do not have much experience with OSX. Perhaps I would like it, but I do not like Apple hardware. Yes, Unity has it problems, for example some processes start to run amok time to time, but I do not notice that compiz is one of them. Considering that I usually ran my Windows installations to the ground, Ubuntu has stand the test of time for me.
- Shorel 10y agoI have a disk with Linux Mint. It loads faster, but it lacks about half the keyboard shortcuts I use in Ubuntu. ElementaryOS lacks even more. No menus in the applications (like Chrome) with lots of wasted screen state, and a broken launcher. We have tried, and Unity was still superior for doing stuff.
