While it's taken flack for Gnome Shell, I switched to Fedora when Unity was coming down the pike and have been very happy (and actually like Gnome Shell).
And the Gnome people seem to have gotten at least some of the message gurkendoktor mentions in another thread - they have screenshots of the core features of the product in action and videos showing how different UI flows work.
- viraptor 15y agoIf the UI is all you had problems with, then why switch the whole distribution instead of installing the same gnome shell? Even softpedia provides a way to do it: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-GNOME-3-on-Ubuntu-11-04-194085.shtml http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-GNOME-3-on-Ubu...
- elehack 15y agoI was growing increasingly dissatisfied with other aspects of Ubuntu as well. Unity was just the last straw.
- piccadilly 15y agoYou wouldn't necessarily know this until you had done the described change, but Ubuntu's packaging of Gnome Shell is in various small but annoying ways not as polished and together as Fedora's. That might partly be because Ubuntu has thrown its effort into its default Unity, while Fedora has put effort into its default Gnome Shell.
