That was never the objective, nor the result. It's just an ill-informed meme.

- okasaki 4y agoI don't know which idea is worse, (1) that they forced desktop users on a phone UI intentionally (2) or that they weren't trying to make a phone UI but somehow ended up with the gross garbage that is GNOME 3+ anyway. Either way GNOME 3+ stinks. Even the GNOME developers had to concede and offer the alternative GNOME flashback (https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeFlashback https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeFlashback), which looks like GNOME 2 (but not customizable). Given how intransigent they are usually, the push-back must have been enormous.
- addicted 4y agoLol, because Linux users are the biggest whiners on the planet. Almost no one appreciated Unity when it was around. All this nostalgia for it is just that. If Ubuntu switched to Unity tomorrow people would just start whining like mad about it. I bet Gnome Fladhback doesn’t even get 1% of the usage of actual Gnome.
- philliphaydon 4y agoI was using Ubuntu but when Unity got dropped I went back to Windows... Now I'm on Fedora 36 with KDE, and :'( my new work laptop has to be Windows :'( so sad.
- okasaki 4y agoUnity wasn't appreciated because it wasn't better than what it was replacing (GNOME 2). Though at least it had a sort of window list you could use to quickly switch windows with a mouse. You know - the device people use on desktop PCs. Nothing to do with whiners. Although I'm sure the world feels like it's full of whiners if you work on UIs at Red Hat. As is often the case though, that feeling is more a reflection of your situation than objective reality.
