It reminds me of Ubuntu when Canonical decided to replace GTK2 with the Unity desktop environment. Maybe people disliked that update and I am sure some people will dislike Apple’s too but at the end of the year everyone will prize the new UI like they always do.
- SahAssar 6y agoUnity was replaced 6 years later with Gnome/GTK3. Not saying that it was a failure, but they did eventually go back to using Gnome.
- merb 6y agowell still unity wasn't such a bad ui and probably better than gnome/gtk3 at the time. unfortunatly it failed because of several issues.
- SahAssar 6y agoMind telling me what those several issues where? In my view it was mostly that they got no buy in from the rest of the community and the flagship for unity/mir failed (ubuntu touch/phone). I have no idea if unity/mir had technical superiority or not over the other options, but it really does seem like one of those "canonical things" that never gets buy-in from any other distros.
