Unity sucks.
Have a try to Gnome 3 (select GNOME when you login) =)

Unity is a Gnome shell for the Gnome 3 desktop environment, just like Gnome Shell. Perhaps you mean Gnome Shell?
Erm....what?
I'm so confused at what you meant right now.

To clarify to everybody:
Unity and Gnome 3 are two very different things. One is being developed and maintained by the people behind Ubuntu, and the other by, well the people behind Gnome 2, and 1 :P
Gnome Shell is the desktop manager for Gnome 3 and as far as I know it has nothing to do with Unity. Unity came into being after a dispute on the path Gnome 3 was going to take.

but Unity runs on the GNOME backend IIRC. It's as much Gnome 3 as MATE is, with the exception of who is developing it (which matters a lot less when you're running off of the same base)

A quick wikipedia quote:
Quote
Unity is a shell interface for the GNOME desktop environment developed by Canonical Ltd for its Ubuntu operating system.

See, GNOME Shell is one desktop for GNOME. MATE (a Gnome 2 fork running on gdm3) is another. Unity is yet another.

And I prefer XFCE. It gets application compatibility with gnome AND kde programs, and doesn't complain about either (something I've run into problems with trying to run one type off of the other) AND it's significantly faster. It reminds me of Gnome 2, which used to be my favorite, but I'm afraid to use MATE since it looks like they plan on phasing it out eventually. XFCE has no such worries.

Edit: Aww, it appears electricsheep doesn't like being screenshotted. oh well. It's the actual program, not a video clip or a still shot!

Why, GNOME, must you try to become another KDE4? :'(

Plus, GNOME 3 removed screensaver support! >:(

And just to keep it OT, I made electricsheep my Background. It looks awesome.

it's "awesome" shell =)

Not Awesome Shell, awesome WM :P

On distributions with APT, "sudo apt-get install awesome" (Ubuntu, Debian, etc.)

All Windows and Mac OS's desktops look pretty much the same, except for riced Windows, I barely see any cool Mac OS desktop. Most GNU/Linux distributions have much more customization, besides being free as in freedom, hence I love them so much.

Still, I like some of your software :)

Oh I assigned 8xp to google chrome just to see if google chrome could open them. I knew it wouldn't, but it never hurts to try, right?
