Ubuntu Unity: The Great Divider

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday May 3, 2011 @04:45AM from the line-in-the-sand dept.

Barence writes "Canonical's decision to impose the new Unity interface on Ubuntu 11.04 users appears to have split the Linux distro's users, according to PC Pro. Features such as a moving Launcher bar and invisible scrollbars have angered many users, with one claiming that 'Ubuntu is doing a great job throwing away years of UI experience.' The rush to meet the six-monthly release schedule also appears to have harmed the release, with many users reporting graphical glitches with the new user interface."

What a non-controversy by bmo · 2011-05-03 06:06 · Score: 0, Troll

Seriously, Linux is about choice. Don't like the desktop? Install one of the other dozen or so window managers and desktops.
It's not like it's any more difficult than herpan, derpan, pointan, clickan in Synaptic.
I keep seeing shit like this and I swear it must be Softies trying to spread FUD. Stop it. It's about as controversial as Debian "forcing" Gnome 3.
Fucktards.
