It’s not logical let’s put it this way. If you’re going to have a launcher the applications should minimize to there not to the top of the screen! :| > > Also the login screen needs to be able to detect when you've installed other GUI’s cause Unity isn’t coming up as a login option. > > Well that’s my 20c :) > > Get the feeling I’m one of the minority that actually likes the new Unity interface and dislikes Gnome but... we all have our own tastes. > > azariah
I think unity is fine. I don't think I'll ever use it personally, but I have no problem suggesting its use, or supporting it. Ubuntustudio ships with xfce. If you have been using unity, you have not been using ubuntustudio. Back when both ubuntu and ubuntustudio both used gnome2, I would routinely install ubuntu and add what I needed from the audio, video, and graphics packages. As I stated before, this can still easily be done. If one wants to run unity, you install ubuntu, and add what you want from either the audio, video and/or graphics packages, or you can install ubuntustudio, and from there install the ubuntu-desktop. We chose xfce for a few reasons. The look and feel was more like that of the older ubuntustudio gnome2 desktop, and the xubuntu team is just awesome and so helpful. There are lots of folks who use some ubuntu base, and take advantage of either the ubuntustudio packages or metapackages. Users are welcome and encouraged to do this. Kubuntu base users, xubuntu, lubuntu... custom minimal versions or the main vanilla distro running unity. The facts: "Best" is a matter of opinion. Ubuntustudio ships with xfce. The studio packages work with all of them. You can easily switch between them. Unity is an option. > > -- > Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list > [email protected] > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users >
