The Unity Desktop Environment an Underrated Masterpiece
The Unity Desktop Environment an Underrated Masterpiece
Unity is a desktop platform, based on technologies such as Nux, GTK and Compiz.
Why is the unity is underrated when its what i use right now with Ubuntu Unity and its actually really great experience for my 2021 HP Stream 11 Laptop and i hope you all to share your experiences using the unity de in Debain Ubuntu Arch Fedora Gentoo Opensuse Etc thanks for your Amazing community my Wonderful Friends

Bro. Use punctuation. Help your readers.
Why is the unity is underrated when its what i use
Everyone is going on about the lack of punctuation; I can't get over this snippet. It's like the ideal of an ego wrote this.
If you'd like to know my experience with Unity DE, I thought it felt like a toy and when it was packaged with Ubuntu, it was the first time I left vanilla Ubuntu since the days of Gutsy Gibbon.
I'm glad to hear Unity getting love. The customizability is by far linux's key strength. So it can give people what they want. For example, it gives me the ability to completely ignore Unity.
Unity would be awesome if you used the laptopto run only a few applications each on the bar.
So i actually think unity would be perfect for the normie or even the writer.
Will it your point after all.but remember not anything is going to be forgotten forever.

...is this GPT spam?
How could you confuse this with GPT. The GPT style is entirely grammatically correct, perhaps a bit awkward, and incredibly bland.
I guess this is more like when you keep tapping the next word in autocorrect.
GPT would offer excellent English and perhaps some nice formatting in at least twice as many words.
No its my actual writing but i can see why are you confused by my style
I still think KDE is a much smarter desktop environment and much more light or fast. I never liked GNOME 3 and Unity had many performance issues in the past. I also tried GNOME 3 recently and still, I needed many plugins to make it good and usable and was still lacking much stuff, while on KDE works all perfectly. I'm waiting for Plasma 6 now. :D

Those are some punctiation characters you for sure missed. Please use multiple scentences, that was a hell of a read
Ok sorry for being inconsistent
Its fine, but really improves readability :D imagine yourself breathing. Every scentence has a beginning, climax (point of most tension) and an end.
Shortening it to many shorter scentences helps
I used Unity for five or six years. It was undeniably fine. I had no complaints.
I used it at university. I don't think anyone there complained about it, and these people were not Linux users...
That might be why tbh. Unity seems very intuitive as long as someone has an open mind similar to the expectation that a mac will be different than wibdows.
That's good! It should be usable and intuitive for everybody.
But isn't the new version great
Probably? I switched employers and I'm running osx now. I prefer Unity, but osx works too.

It also tried to save space with auto hiding the sidebar and using global menus built into the panel, instead of having a panel and then a titlebar.
Clock in the top center of the screen with no native configuration option to put back on the side because fuck you!
The universal menu bar saves space by shrinking application menus. Almost every DE has an application bar and I don’t see why you hate that.
As far as I understand, Unity is mostly just a Gtk-based desktop environment similar to Cinnamon, but with the Unity shell and launcher, and the global menu.
As a long-time Mac user I always liked the global menu, but it was just such a pain to always have to patch Gtk to get it to work, and in the end it isn't such a huge improvement to my quality of life that I think it is worth the trouble. It is nice that Unity takes care of this for you. That said, and I hate to admit it, but I think Gnome actually is more stable than Unity, mostly because there is so much more financial backing for it, so it is hard for me to recommend using Unity unless you really just love the aesthetics of it.
Ok but you know that im using the official Ubuntu unity flavor thats maintained and i really just want to be unique using an Underrated de instead of gnome and the like but kde is also great as well and i will switch to it after i get a customized to unity first
Unity started with pretty awful performance (much like GNOME 3) and coincided with some infamous decisions on the part of Canonical, namely that whole business with the Amazon integration, so it's permanently tainted in the minds of many. It also meant that the largest distro in town was suddenly using a desktop that was much less inviting to newcomers than the familiar GNOME 2.
I'm glad it's being kept alive as it does have a unique vibe to it, but I always found the workflow a bit awkward and much prefer GNOME for something modern and xfce or MATE for when I want something traditional.
Ok so do you still recommend it for other specific users
As a long time Ubuntu hater, no. They did so much weird de shit that I eventually had to fuck off and I've been happier(in regards to computers only) ever since.
I'm old school. I've been using GUI based OSes since Windows 3.11 and 95, and prefer KDE due to its similarity. Unity feels like what they did with Windows 8, where they tried to turn a desktop OS into a tablet OS. And it just feels "klunky", for lack of a better term. Too much bling for not enough benefit. KDE strikes a nice balance between eye-candy and responsiveness.
Last time I used unity full time was 3 years ago on an old hp, couldn't run gnome for some reason and I was very noo in Linux at the time so I installed Ubuntu 16 and upgraded it to 18. The aesthetic was very windows 7. It was alright but I prefer gnome
Unity was fine, I used it. But the fact I've never tried to replicate that workflow since moving on from Ubuntu is pretty telling.
Using stock Gnome on Fedora Workstation now and couldn't be happier.
I miss Unity. It never got the love it deserved from a praise nor development standpoint. My typical Gnome desktop typically ends up being a quasi-Unity layout. I need to spin up the latest Ubuntu Unity spin for nostalgia's sake.
Why not use Unity then? You still can.
I never particularly cared for the Unity desktop. The first few times I tried it, there were hardware incompatibilities, slow performance, and crashing. Gnome3 is a complicated mess. I prefer to keep it simple. XFCE is fine for me.
Does Unity support Wayland?
Nope. However, UnityX, a prototype desktop environment (which will be available as a variant of Unity once ready), will include Wayland support.
I realize the name was likely chosen for completely unrelated reasons, but I can't stop laughing about UnityX being the only variant of Unity with Wayland support.
No not currently
MasterSHIT you meant, right?
I only tested it with live USB and it was not looking good. I see there is new 7.7 I would like to test just for curiousity.
