elementary is what Ubuntu should have been. Basically, they've built a new desktop environment from the ground up with focus on design and usability. This the first release of the DE (first release was based on Gnome), so it's still a bit immature, but there's already a big following.
- sciurus 13y ago"Basically, they've built a new desktop environment from the ground up with focus on design and usability" Hmm, that sounds a lot like what Ubuntu did. :-)
- manamana 13y agoYeah, but I mean elementary OS is something that you can actually give to people that have never used Linux before and they will like it. Unity is, well, divisive to say the least.
- andrewflnr 13y agoUnity is divisive among people who have used Linux before. Now that it has (allegedly) stabilized, do non-Linux people still have a problem with it?
- sciurus 13y agoI think the user experience of Unity is largely stable, so I agree with your point. I just thought I'd mention that there's a rewrite of Unity underway, so the software itself might not be stable in upcoming Ubuntu releases. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnityNextSpec https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnityNextSpec
