Canonical had at some point two variants of Unity, the regulate one (slow) and a qml based one (super snappy). I'm still sad that they did not stick with the qml version. GNOME nowerdays is fine, but for years it was slow and lacking compared to what we already had with qml Unity.
- butokai 4y agoThere's another comment below that mentions Unity 8, which has been forked and is being maintained as a mobile shell. Is that the same QML Unity you're mentioning? I remember they were going for some kind of convergence.
- lproven 4y agoNo. The Qt-based Unity was called Unity2D. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity2D https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity2D It was dropped when LLVMpipe rendering made OpenGL fast enough to be usable on machines without 3D hardware: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTE2MTQ https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTE2MTQ
