"Perhaps the best part of Unity in 13.04 is not new features, but the noticeable speed improvement. Like GNOME Shell, Unity has taken its fair share of (deserved) abuse for its high-end hardware requirements and sluggish performance. You're still not going to make Unity scream on an old machine, but provided you've got newer hardware, 13.04 is definitely snappier than its predecessors."
Not even this ? If it's true, it would be worth upgrading just for a snappier interface in my opinion.
- mayneack 14y agoIs this just for Unity or is it an across the board speedup that I'll notice even if I'm using something like Cinnamon/xfce?
- jeremyjh 14y agoI guess I'd have to see it. Unity has never struck me as slow. I run it on a pretty modern desktop; maybe in a laptop it would be more of a benefit.
