I actually liked unity. Putting the task bar on the side was a great idea at an age when screen started getting flatter and flatter.
The HUD(?) was a great concept allowing easy Dutch within an apps menus.
- p1necone 7y agoMy problem was with the size of all the UI elements, it seemed to me that a lot of it was designed with a "touch first, M+K second" focus.
- Niccizero 7y agoThat's probably Gnome, Ubuntu was pretty manegeable as a KB+M desktop. I'd say it's as KB+M oriented as OS X. Gnome is more like the Ipad OS.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y ago> Putting the task bar on the side was a great idea at an age when screen started getting flatter and flatter. That's hardly innovation though since most DEs over the past 2+ decades that I can think of would let you move the taskbar (if they had one) anyway.
- Sharlin 7y agoIndeed even Windows 95 let you do that.
- IshKebab 7y agoI agree - taskbar on the side is the best layout. It's very common on Macs and you can do it in Windows 10 now too. The problem with Unity was that it was buggy as hell, and the launcher was really badly styled. Huge gaps between icons, the search filter was unusable, etc.
