I just tried this and I think it's a much better desktop in terms of UX.
However, I'm running on a mere 16GB 16-core MacPro and performance was appalling with it really suffering and the end result is practically unusable.
If performance can be brought up to Gnome levels then I'll probably be happy as it is really nice.

- buro9 16y agoGood question, and I don't know. I just went by cat /proc/cpuinfo and htop which both show 16 independently operating cores. Maybe I have an octo-core and it has hyper-threading? I can't say I pay a great deal of attention to the specifics of the machine I'm hot-desking at, but I suspect that even if it is 8 cores hyper-threaded that Unity should still run smoothly.
- kevinherron 16y agoThat sounds about right. And yes, I agree, Unity should still run smoothly :x I think Unity for the desktop is in beta though so hopefully they get things worked out in time for the 11.04 release.
