Ubuntu Desktop is the best linux os ever but the gui is the worst peace of crap ever
what is the best gui for ubuntu
unity

unity
>>56558680
>unity
yeah right
>>56558655
GNOME?
>>56558772
your a sick dirty old man
Unity.
>changing the de/wm is hard
every ubuntu distro is the same as long you got internet and apt-get
>>56558655
gentoo
>>56558655
It's actually unity. I deploy Ubuntu for servers and workstations as well as maintain them. Unity is required for us to certify full deployment service. Other DEs on Ubuntu are good hacks, but they are stick hacks and not fully supported by the canonical enterprise folks.
Obviously for a home user taste may be more important than stability, but just saying if you want the best Ubuntu desktop then Unity is it by design.
unity
you guys are aware that ubuntu is the one linux distro developed for sub-saharan africans right....right?
>>56558655
Unity 8, it's comfy as fuck, just install a GTK+ theme and an icon theme then it's literally the best, an't wait for mir and wayland support, X is deprecated
>>56558655
KDE
Unity is well polished. Do not listen to the autists on /g/.
>>56558697
unity
GNOME
>>56558842

Mark Shuttleworth may have born in South Africa but he doesn't look like a nigger to me tbqh senpai.
Even Terry Davis uses Ubuntu.
>>56559563
Of course he's not a nigger; niggers lack the cognitive capacity to fork Debian.
Ubuntu is made FOR niggers. The problem is though - if you make something so simple niggers can use it, only niggers will WANT to use it.

A lot of native blacks these days are actually pretty sharp, according to test scores of immigrants. It's the American blacks that are idiots because all Americans are idiots.
The Africans are finally getting treatments for diseases fucking up their kids' neurology, but burgers embrace being stupid.

lol ok mate
>>56559674
Are you trying to prove me wrong with an example of problem solving?
>>56559674
That's a pretty sick bike m8
But seriously, all the Africans that I work with are pretty smart, that might be why they're in the USA
Gecko Linux with Xfce or Budgie
>>56558655
xubuntu
>>56559713
From my experiance Africans that can actually make it out of Africa and come to the US are usually pretty smart and pretty red pilled to :^) tfw talking to guy from Sierra Leone and he spent 30 minutes bitching about how the Chinese are scum.
>>56559674
>his bike
>>56558655
MATE
>>56558655
I have to agree with MATE. Currently using it on my laptop, but maybe I'm biased because I got into Linux with Ubuntu 8.04, so I'm nostalgic for the classic Gnome "Applications Places System" menu.
Unity is fine for casuals, but I don't like devices pretending that they're tablets.
Xubuntu is unpolished, stuff like Bluetooth not staying on, erratic sleep and resume, display dimming when watching Youtube, etc.
Is there a way to show thumbnails in the file picker dialog, without having to install everything of kde?

>ubuntu desktop is the best linux os ever
Yeah, do you even used gentoo, arch, manjaro, debian, kali?
Elementary OS or bust
>>56559674
Yes a person being able to create a bike out of junk is a smart person

no
>>56562469
Agreed. I've used Ubuntu since 9.04-ish. I also agree with you about xfce, if it was more polished I might use it more.
>>56559674
Now I'm curious how he powers that thing.

try another distro, rinse & repeat until you get tired of installing distros, or your computer breaks, which ever comes first
Man I almost want to try Unity now. It's been years since I have.
>>56558655
I use i3-gaps... just awesome window manager
I tried arch and fell in love with it......

Cinnamon
>>56559273
as much as GNOME is developed for midgets
>>56559298
The uniry panel is shit, I tried using it but I ended up installing something else after a week.
>>56567271

>>56558655
Ubuntu + Cinnamon/MATE
It's the perfect distro.
>>56567666
It's a carrot nose.
>>56567668
I wish Ubuntu had a Cinnamon flavor. I have it installed off of xubuntu now. No problems.
>>56567668
I used Ubuntu with MATE and really liked it. It looked great
>>56562469
I want to use Ubuntu mate, but they use a "custom" configuration of it. Is it only a theme?, or do i need to reinstall mate to remove the bloated configuration?
>>56558655
KDE
>>56567678
No it's a XOR nose.
>>56567688
I have tried MATE. It runs great but never used long term. So, not sure if it has screen tearing etc. Also not sure if it can look nice. But I do recall it running very light and stable. Solid for older hardware or anything I guess
>>56559481
This but the gtk3 build. Looks fantastic.
XFCE in second place.
>>56567726
So does MATE use gtk3?
>>56558655
Go for Kubuntu.
>>56560662
>and come to the US are usually pretty smart
US pretty much operates like a still, extracting the get-up-an-go's from around the world. It has been that way for over a century.
>>56558655
It is the exact opposite: is the worst is with the best gui
>>56558655
Don't do anything now. Just w8 4 new Unity 8 desktop, that shit will be looking slightly better, all gtk themes look awful.
>>56567791
Kubuntu is obsolete. Use KDE Neon.
>>56568889
>Kubuntu is obsolete.
It is still being developed.
>Use KDE Neon.
I am going to look into it. Problem is that KDE is off into the weeds and I believe some moderation is called for. If, as an example, you were using some of the more flakey software hatched out by the KDE huffers you might end up with Kmail2 and a finely shredded inbox.
KDE makes some nice stuff but these days they are far too crazy.
I've just made preparations to jump from kubuntu to something else. I was thinking of going back to xubuntu. However, the whole reason I left it was video screen tearing. Tried the compton taing to no avail. So far, unity and kde were tear free, but 16.04 unity as released was buggy as fuck. Kde is buggy as all hell too but was more familiar and has more settings than unity. I'm at a loss as to where to go now. I'm about to the point of just drawing from a hat. Also, shit optimus.
>>56569259
cinnamon is also tear free and oyu may like. It's what i dropped xfce4 for.Compton works fine for me but i'll just stay up to date with gtk3
Cinnamon, unless you're a tremendous homosexual.

>>56567721
My MATE had screen tearing on Intel 4000 graphics (Thinkpad), but it was a 5 minute google and a quick terminal command to fix.
