awful. Windows 7 was much better
Brandon Myers
Unity 8/UBports is still going. If they get it over to Wayland, it'll be the best QT desktop for sure. It'll even be able to keep the global menu.
Asher Richardson
xp was a lot litter tho.
Anyway CLI is the way.
Julian Nelson
Canceling Unity was one of the most retarded decisions Ubuntu could've made. As a Windows user I can agree Unity was a rock-solid DE
Robert Diaz
XFCE is much more capable and uses way less RAM than unity.
Are you baiting or something?

I only ever used it with 512MiB of memory. It was pretty slow and not comfy at all. Albeit only having used Ubuntu for a few months, when they released 11.04 I thought it was a poor decision of them to switch. I thought what they had going with GNOME before worked better.
OP, how could you tolerate being so laggy?

What's the point of having a wallpaper if you can only see it 10% of the time?
Evan Hughes
Joseph Thompson
Lighter.
Eli Peterson
You're taking the concept of "windows" too literally.
Jaxon Roberts
They switched because of GNOME 3. They made the right choice then, they just fucked up every other single decision since. Maybe now they've learned their lesson and they fuck off to cloud-space and leave the DE work to their flavors.

Literally an unholy mess, and I guarantee you it doesn't have nearly as many right-click options, or anywhere near the power of the control panel/device manager did in WinXP.
Wyatt Butler
Spacing between elements, shortcut creation process, etc. etc. etc.

There will never be a desktop as functional with only half a megabyte of memory usage.
Jeremiah Moore
They do exist today. However, they won't have all the nice features that people demand in a modern desktop today.
Hudson Perry
yeah, it will be called Stockholm Syndrome DE.
Alexander Turner
People don't demand anything, because they don't even have any agency to begin with. They suck the industry jew cock and swallow.

The classic NT5 interface is very decent, probably the best GUI ever. Vista and 7 already ruined it with pointless hit you can't remove, increased distance between rows in file explorer, and many other things. 8 removed the classic interface altogether.
Jason Butler

Yuint and the UBports community are still developing Unity 8. Maybe you, all-knowing White developers, could help them?
Who am I kidding? This place is full of nothing but LARPers.

Quality post.

It's generally accepted that it's the 1981-1995 generation. Some extend it to 1999, but it's not always the case.

I would definitely use it.

Because we stack Windows instead of using autism window managers.

That's a very high estimate. If you're seeing your wallpaper, it means you have no window open, thus meaning you're not doing anything on your computer. If you're not doing anything on your computer, you should go outside and enjoy life.
Jackson Fisher
is windows basically a plagiarism of OS/2?
or what the fuck is going on in your picture?

There is none. You are like a retard who consumes a spoiled food just because you paid for it.

Stop being a nigger and make whatever you like. Install Xfce and customize it yourself. A white man wouldn't use a desktop environment that can't be modified.
Parker Young

Chase Martinez
The only thing better than this is pure black.
Kayden Morgan
Embarrassing.
Not horse shit. Haven't you ever had the displeasure of using it? Same goes for 10.
The one important feature of programs and operating environments is how it looks. I personally like to have every inch of my desktop covered with something at all times, but sometimes it's nice to just screw up your eyes by trying to decipher the non-existent magic images in tiling backgrounds

Windows and OS/2 are sort of cousins. In fact, OS/2 was co-developed by Microsoft and IBM, until Microsoft got tired of IBM's bullshit and decided to do its own thing again.
And yes, IBM was the bad guy in this story. Or at least the stupid "pointy-haired boss" guy. I recall hearing this story: at some point, IBM sold PCs with the 286 CPU, promising buyers the upcoming OS/2 would run on them. Microsoft knew the 286 was just not powerful enough - tough luck, make it work.
Michael Martinez
Unity sucks. Also that's an awful lot of memory to do almost nothing useful. Oh wait, a messed up audio system and support for almost no useful application software.
Nathan Cox
I couldn't install this on my 486. Theoretically it supported computers with 8 MB RAM (16 MB recommended) but after 15 minutes of trying to boot the install disks, I just called it quits. It was pretty obvious it really "wanted" 16 MB.
Slackware and all the X WM's worked fine though. This was like 1995-6, just before the bloated desktop environments craze and the push to make Linux look and behave like Windows/Mac rejects. Linux "desktop" should have never moved beyond pic-related.
Nicholas Murphy
Disable theming service and you'll get something close to the classic look.

Truly a marvel of ricing. Archfags and twm fags WISH they could do that.
Isaiah Watson
Go back and use Xp. Xp is dogshit even compared to LXQt.
Caleb White
Butthurt arch newbie, sxiv can play gif files meanwhile you use crappy featureless windowns-like image viewer.
Xfeces are bloated compared to Lxde. What is more thunar doesn't has program list.
Adrian Wood
What the fuck happened here?
Ryder Hill
you're saying it like it's a good thing

Get that bloatware outta here!

thank you, this is comfy in my Ubuntu Mate dark theme

Ubuntu MATE has a panel layout similar to Unity called Mutiny.

Windows 7 takes less ram then unity
Carson Bennett
I ran it on a machine with 512MiB of ram when it came out.
500 millibits doesn't make any sense
Luis Price
Why are icons for things you aren't doing cluttering your screen?
Gabriel Price
Because the amount of screen real estate I'd gain with your method isn't worth as much as easy 1-click access to applications when I do need them.

Q4OS is quite nice. In a number of ways it legitimately tries to do what you speak of.
