Why Is Ubuntu's Unity Squeezing out GNOME 3?
Not too long ago, I wrote about Ubuntu's embrace of the Unity desktop and what that would mean for Ubuntu users who might prefer a traditional GNOME shell.
At the time, I was called out by some readers regarding my belief that Ubuntu was limiting itself with its choice in relying on Unity. Now as we approach Ubuntu 11.04, it looks as if I might have been right all along.
While users can certainly select the older GNOME shell, the move to the Unity desktop has clearly not been greeted with unanimous applause.
Unity is not GNOME 3
One fact that ought to be made clear from the start is that in the name of Ubuntu seeking to make Unity their default desktop experience, the development team has indeed locked some users into a singular desktop experience.
