Hi,
Ok - just had a look at the wiki pedia article.
1)How can the opinion of reviewers who look at at the early version of
a software application be meaningful? It is an early version - and things
will change/improve with time.
2)Gnome developers are developers - so they have large monitors with
huge amounts of screen real estate. To them, throwing away a few cms
of screen space for a panel etc is not a big problem. Unity is much more
efficient in its use of screen space - which is a good thing..
3)Gnome people are, of course, going to be disparaging. After investing time
and effort in developing Gnome based apps to do things, and then see all
that "bypassed" with the move to unity - they cannot accept that.
yes - there are issues. On a twin screen system, Unity displays the same
panel at the top of both monitors..
Gnome did similar things.
Open some application, hit full screen, and it only displays full screen
on one monitor - I want it full screen on
both monitors.
Gnome did the same thing.
Just glad that I'm holding on to my Ubuntu 10.4.2 until the LTS expires
in a couple years and (like Charleton Heston) they have to pry it from
my cold dead fingers. :-) Frees my time up for other things in life.
you traditionist. Where is that pioneering, innovative linux spirit
ready to try new things?
The memory leak I reported in an email this morning is gone..
As of today, I see Unity as an improvement over Gnome.
Cheers,
Derek.
