I hope someone will fork and develop Unity7 instead of that Unity8 mess.

So far the guys who are trying to develop Unity8 are just modifying readme's, comments and translations. Just a bunch of fags.

It's a bad idea but hopefully something better comes along.

>>59892987
Gnome 3 is fugly.

>>59893098
It might be a better idea to modify gnome shell like the mint devs did, after all it's just use something similar to dash to dock, tweak the top panel to include the application's menu and small tweaks here and there.
I mean it could be done with extensions alone and not forking anything.

>>59892987
yes, finally no more botnet and over 9000mb/s internet speed on static desktop without any programs running
(probably, maybe they will do something to "their" gnome, idk)

The only good thing about this is that GNOME might get thumbnails faster with so many users on Ubuntu.

Canonical has to make money, so they ditched Unity8, Mir and mobile devices in favor of server market. Unity still will be developed independently and available in repos in 'universe' section.

No, desktop Linux is now officially dead.

it's stupid as fuck

>>59892987
I don't know, what I know is that GNOME will never be good.

Given how canonical was exclusive unity developer it probably didnt pay out the wasted time and manpower
Theyll focus on the server now

>>59893996
I like this to be honest. It looks very clean, fresh and modern.

>>59893996
it still amazes me how the gnome project thought that having a taskbar was distracting
having an entire top bar dedicated to 1 application menu, that bullshit "systray"/whatever and clock is just breathtakingly inefficient

>>59893366
That's exactly how it works. I mean, really, there is nothing more important to a DE than how it handles windows, menus, accessibility of programs and main functions of the computer.
No Screenshot I have ever seen on this board was better than Unity in this respect, Gnome on Fedora was Eye cancer and not really usable, even iOS and W10(which I love) do not compare.

And "muh performance" for what, glorified text editing a.k.a. coding and browsing the web?
My 6year old lenovo who literally died under Windows 7 worked smooth as butter with Ubuntu 16.04

>>59894159
GNOME 2 was as inefficient as this.
GNOME 1 was as you described, but they wrote it in C#.

>>59893996
Amazing. Looks clean, I like it a lot more than gnome 3 default look.

>>59893996
I thought it was cool until my eyes moved to the left and saw that stupid dockbar there. I love how KDE has gone from shit to decent at light speed but Unity and Gnome both slowly deteriorate.

>>59893996
I honestly think at least half of ubuntus appeal comes from its choice of colors. It is really satisfying to be greeted by such a warm screen in decently differing hues.

Fuck Richard, Shuttleworth is the real face of linux.

>I used to think that it was a privilege to serve people who also loved the idea of service, but now I think many members of the free software community are just deeply anti-social types who love to hate on whatever is mainstream. When Windows was mainstream they hated on it. Rationally, Windows does many things well and deserves respect for those. And when Canonical went mainstream, it became the focus of irrational hatred too. The very same muppets would write about how terrible it was that IOS/Android had no competition and then how terrible it was that Canonical was investing in (free software!) compositing and convergence. Fuck that shit.

Fucking nailed it there spaceboy.


We (pretend to) hate:
Gnome2 (because Ubuntu shipped with it)
then
Unity (because Ubuntu shipped with it)
then
Gnome3 (because Ubuntu shipped with it.)

I know they don't have the time to do this, because they are a private company ACTUALLY MAKING MONEY instead of whiny IRC "historian" turbo loser pre-suicide shits, but I would literally die if Ubuntu just for a month or something came with some autistic obscure tiling wm like i3. Just to see faggot hipsters immediately start to find pseudo-problems with it and drop it.

Why don't you fuck off to BSD? It's permanently shit and you can keep saying you're better than linux users because it isn't mainstream. You don't do anything here besides shit up the linux community with pseudo-intellectual desktop circlejerking. Please, please, please fuck off to BSD.

i imagine when they decided to ditch ubuntu mobile (and by extension u8) they were left with nothing to add to unity, and explored what severing that team would really change. They probably got to look at gnome 4 too, and it was at least up to their standards that it was worth it to cut the unity team to make up from sunk cost into ubuntu mobile.

1. That's called gtk headerbar https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkHeaderBar.html
Headerbar is actually a nice idea to get rid of an extra menu panel. As a result your screen space is saved in the vertical axis
2. You can save even further by installing an extension called PixelSaver in GNOME, Unity basically forked pixelsaver into their shell --it's literally the same shit
3. Unity 7 looks like some garbage from 2007. However that "leaked" picture is much more cleaner. In fact I wish it was a bit more cluttered.
4. Going back to your meme in the first post, you can see it's not nautilus in the bottom screenshot, nautilus uses the gtk3 headerbar. With the screenshot in the bottom, the whole panel is lost in printing the title and 3 icons.

If you don't know the technical aspects of the thinks you want to talk about you should study a bit more. If an app developer uses gtk3 and the headerbar your DE can do nothing about it.

See picture: On the right, polari makes use of gtk 3 headerbar and on the right Qterminal doesn't use the headerbar. Qterminal wasted a whole row for title, Polari was more space efficient. Unfortunately neither GNOME nor Unity can do anything about those apps using the headerbar or not.

Everyone's endgame right now is to move away from X and Compiz is an old, unmaintained piece of shit. People ask about Unity 7 and they explain that it'll take too much work to improve Unity 7 when they can just easily take away, tack on and modify Unity 8's codebase. You can't say the same for Unity because of its dependencies.

>>59896754
Until there is a great number of good applications that use the gtkheaderbar, Gnome 3 will be shit due to inconsistencies.

kek, lets help them

My experience is that everything looks good if you set it up properly.
Even Windows 7 with its jumble can look good if you utilize a good white UI theme to kind of merge all the multiple-personality shit it has.

Only retards think DE's are shit, because it takes a retard to not know how to set it up with its own personality.
